Parking on private land

Hi everyone.

I recently had a parking ticket whilst going for a walk. It was issued by my local council. I parked inside double yellow lines in an entrance to a farm gate. The entrance is very wide so I wasn't impeding access to the gate and there is no pavement in this area at all. There are no signs indicating any parking restrictions.

I'm 99.9% sure the council don't own the land, what do I do next ???

Thanks,

Ian

    DYLs cover the area behind the lines to the edge of the highway.

    Are you sure where you parked is not part of the highway?

    Anyway, as Fruitcake says, Pepipoo is the place for this.
