    That's assuming it's a council ticket.
  • If its to do with a bus lane it will be council

    OP - no, that is not an appeal that would work.
    But you need to go to pepipoo, to the COUNCIL forum (decrim) and READ OTHER POSTS THERE in order ot know the information you MUST provide to have any hope of getting a striaghtforward, non-teeth pulled answer.

    ParkWatch (Defence Systems) run one scam in Coventry (possibly Birmingham) like this. CCTV based monitoring of entry to some private land marked off as Bus Lane/Authorised Vehicles Only.

    @Melih - please clarify who has issued you with the 'penalty'.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Thank you, One Stop, Perry Barr was the one I was thinking of.

    Odds on this being a council ticket, but best to obtain clarification before referring the OP on to pepipoo.

    Will help enormously if the OP could give the location (as stated on the ticket)
