Lidl 'sorry' for poppy sellers' parking tickets

At least eight Royal British Legion (RBL) volunteers were given the penalty charge notices (PCNs) between 27 October and 9 November despite having registered their cars with Lidl in North Hykeham.

She said: "As far as we knew, the licence numbers had been taken and there was no problem parking for four hours.

"But near the end of the week, I got this charge through the post for £90. I was knocked sideways, I wasn't expecting that.

Parkingeye said it operated an "audited appeals process" which it described as "simple and accessible".

A spokesperson said: "We encourage motorists to engage with the appeals process to provide any background and evidence on why they broke the rules of the car park.

"It is only during engagement with the appeals process that personal and mitigating circumstances can be brought to light and fairness and understanding shown."

#Private parking ANPR - killing the high street, ruining proper businesses and picking the pockets of charity workers and donors.

The BPA must be so proud.
