1. An insufficient grace period has been applied and does not provide enough time for the driver to read the signs within the car park. Additionally there is no grace period defined or indicated on any of the signage. The Notice to Keeper indicates a parked time of 11 mins. However this is factually incorrect 11mins 2secs represents the total time from entering the poorly defined site and leaving the site. The car entered the site at 11:11:12 am, confirmed by Image 1 provided by OPS;
Image 1
The car was parked in a space at 11:13:54 am (Image 12, Image 14 at 11:12:46 am shows that the car is not parked) and the car left the parking space 11:19:27 am (as confirmed by Image 25).

Image 25
The car was then prevented from exiting by the xx delivery truck from 11:19:27 am to 11:12:12 am, images 25-32. As such the total parked time, during which the signage was identified and read, was 5min 33sec, the total time on the site before exit was attempted was 8min 17sec and the time total within the car park was 11min 2sec. The last time period includes 2mins 45sec of waiting time during which exit was prevent by obstruction. Therefore the issuing of a PCN by OPS is in breach of the BPA Code of Practice(CoP) on mandatory grace periods.
Those timings seem incorrect, as they should be in time order , yet seem to be in reverse order
ie:- 11.19 to 11.12 does not compute, please amend accordingly
is it 11.19 to 11.22 ????0 -
Yes it is 22 not 12. Again thank you so much. I will make sure I do more proof reading before I post again. Thanks0

About to submit, thanks for all the help. Quick question on submission to POPLA. You have to pick a category for the appeal. Mine is based on grace time and also bad signage. So I assume I go for both ‘Other’ and ‘Not improperly parked’ and sub category ‘Terms and conditions of the car parked were not were not properly signed’? Do I then fill the boxes in with ‘See attached file’ and attach a PDF of my appeal with embedded images?0

Post #3 of the NEWBIES thread tells you exactly how to submit it and it is not the way you are suggesting.These then get saved as PDFs and uploaded to POPLA under OTHER (ONLY)...0
