Dear All,

As expected appeal has been rejected see the reply from APCOA please

Thank you for your appeal received 05 March 2019 against the above Parking Charge Notice. Having carefully considered the evidence provided by you, we must advise your appeal has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

Your vehicle was observed stopped on a red route to pick up a passenger, red routes are in operation around the airport site in order to maintain the safety of our passengers, visitors and staff. Drivers are prohibited to stop, unload or park on the red routes or zig zag lines, which are clearly marked around the airport roads via signage and double red road markings. A vehicle monitoring and enforcement operation is in place, with an enforcement charge of £100. Please note nobody is allowed to enter/exit the vehicle in any circumstance on the airport roads or red route

All the enforcement is carried out according to British parking association (BPA) guidelines and APCOA being an approved operator of BPA is authorized to manage and enforce the property on behalf of Birmingham International Airport. Any vehicles in contravention of the T&C of the Birmingham International Airport are sent out to DVLA for registered owner’s information under BPA guidelines.

Please note as the registered keeper of this vehicle, you are liable for this ticket, unless details of the driver are provided.

The Grace Period is not applicable as the person was not in a car park but was on a road way that is regulated under the Airport’s Byelaws which clearly state that Birmingham 5(2); 5(3) &/or 5(4)) vehicles should not be parked on roadways that are on the Airport Land. The driver entered onto private land freely and in full acceptance of the terms of parking clearly displayed. Terms and conditions are offered; and by remaining onsite, these are accepted.

As your vehicle was parked in contravention of the terms and conditions of the site we are satisfied that the notice was correctly issued in accordance with the BPA code of practice, and therefore not able to waiver the charge on this occasion.

Therefore you now have a number of options:

Pay the Parking Charge Notice at the discounted price of £50 within 14 days. Please note that after this time the Parking

Charge Notice will increase to £100


Whats the next step for me please kindly advice?

Thanks

"Thank you for submitting your parking charge Appeal to POPLA.

APCOA Parking have told us they do not wish to contest the Appeal. This means that your Appeal is successful and you do not need to pay the parking charge.

Yours sincerely

A typical and predictable APCOA withdrawal. They are wasting so many people’s time and POPLA must be livid with them as even though they are only involved in the initial stage of the POPLA appeal, there is nonetheless a cost to having to process the early paperwork.

APCOA, by withdrawing at this stage, pay POPLA nothing. You can’t run any business that way, and APCOA aren’t the only serial ‘fare dodger’.
