    Was she in breach if those terms?  Look carefully.  I don't think so.

    Potentially she was not quite within the white lines.  But she may have been in need of the toilet or having to pick up some equipment.

    But she's appealed without Googling it first, so she's admitted to driving which is a shame.

    It means that an appeal was done without any research on how might be the best way to go about that.

    Is she a health visitor with a windscreen badge or permit? Most OPS contracts state that PCNs will not be issued to emergency workers, doctors, midwives or health visitors.

    Good point, my fellow Brighton lady.

    Well worth a POPLA appeal even if just to flush out a copy of the landowner contract. Which we'd want to see here.

    This is Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust - as they are a public body you can do a Freedom of Information Request to ask for a copy of the parking contract.  They will say it is commercially sensitive so in your request you state that you understand that commercially sensitive information may be redacted.  There will be a link to FOIA requests on their web site. You do not have to say why you want the information. I doubt that there will be any clause such as ParkingMad suggested in a hospital contract as many of the staff of this Trust are going to be community based.

    Do we ask OPS or SCFT for a copy of the parking contract?

    SCFT.

    OPS won't supply it on request - so don't try them - BUT they will have no choice next month, when the appellant requests it as part of her POPLA appeal.

    POPLA appeal points (and info on which boxes to tick) are in the 3rd post of the NEWBIES thread.
