SMART PARKING: PC Advice

fellovertoday

Hello, I’ve received a PCN from Smart Parking after my daughter’s swimming lesson at on 10/05/25. where we visit weekly and need to key the reg on entry to the pool. We have a signed parking permit for the site for the date/time in question which I sent to SMART Parking as part of the appeal, they have responded to say they plan to uphold and offer a reduction to £20 until 22/06.

I have read through the forum regarding authority/land ownership, but I'm a little lost in the terminology, can anyone point me in the right direction for next steps please?

Either pay the £20 or ignore Smart and await the court claim form.

There seems to be a new thing the parking operators are doing where they're asking for £20 to cover their charges for trying to scam you.

Thanks both, could you expand upon the likely outcomes and suggested approach if I don't pay and "await the court claim form" so I can make a decision on paying the £20 or not

I didn't expand because I've already written chapter & verse about it in the 2nd post of the NEWBIES PLEASE READ THESE FAQS FIRST announcement thread.
