You might want to take off the registration but here is where you appear to have parked.



It looks like the cobbled bit may be the highway so you would need to confirm a) were you on the cobbled bit and b) ask Bradford Council if it IS the highway.

By way of background Bradford has had a lot of problems with parking companies issuing tickets/claims were they shouldn't so check

Edit: Bad news is that Bateman is unadopted so no joy there (https://www.bradford.gov.uk/open-data/maps/maps/)

However were there enough signs there to warn drivers. There are few in the pic.

Hi there thanks for that.

On a match day the whole car park has cars parked facing downwards on each side of the cobbles. The parking warden on one occasion was there, he advised providing you park on the cobbles and not one tyre is on the tarmac part, they can't fine you. And the rest is history..

You have copied, almost verbatim, a Defence I wrote for another poster recently.

Are you sure that all the facts are applicable to your case?

For example -

Para. 6 - is there an access ramp in your case?

Para. 7 - Is the charge £90 in your case, or was it £100?

You need to check this over, and make sure the facts fit.

Hi barge pole

I have used you're defence from another case and early hours of morning edited it to suit my case(some bits need adjusting)

I did try to pm you to ask if this was ok but you're pm box is full. I have also emailed you on you're website.

Hope you don't mind me using some of you're material?

Thanks

The whole point of posting a Defence on a public forum, was not only to help that particular OP, but also to provide some guidance to others on how to word a concise and relevant defence, that didn't go off on a scattergun rant.

It's there for people to adapt as necessary, but you should make sure that the facts fit your particular case, and amend paragraphs accordingly where they don't.

System

you park on the cobbles and not one tyre is on the tarmac part, they can't fine you.

Are you saying that the actual road has more than one "owner" and you happened to go over to the other part despite paying and doing your best to follow the rules? Sounds very like "de minimis". Are you able to show the pics they are relying on?
