Porters Avenue GP - Did not register

bobbstar21

Seriously I need a break from this!

I took my wife for an urgent blood test - text stated to go to any BHR clinic so we went to porters avenue, parked in disabled bay with badge displayed.

Did the bloods... ticket. You need to input your plate in the system. I actually did have a brief look for it on my way out but couldn't find it so I left. I went back after I got the PCN and found it all the way at the back of the room.

Anyways did the usual complain to landowner. GP isn't landowner. Was told to complain to CHP. I did, and they said go to euro car parks. Despite being adamant, they kept redirecting me there. I am not sure there is any other avenue.

I have appealed to euro car parks now, expecting a rejection.

But more bizarre - I contacted my MP who replied quickly to say:

Thank you for writing to Nesil Caliskan MP. 

Please be advised that motorists cannot contact their Member of Parliament to use the complaints process to challenge or overturn a Parking Charge Notice (PCN).

If you believe a PCN has been issued in error, you must follow the appeals process as required by legislation.

If you have any other concerns or issues unrelated to Parking Charge Notices, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Pretty disappointing. After my hearing today, I am a lot less confident about it going to court.

Coupon-mad

"Nesil Caliskan is the Labour MP for Barking, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024."

Wow. Labour!

She needs disabusing of her misunderstanding. Complain right back at her and tell her you'll name and shame her to the MHCLG if she persists in actually lying to constituents about this hot topic.

Send her this video:

and this summary:

and the current (open) Public Consultation:

https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/private-parking-code-of-practice

And tell her that the BPA encourage MPs to contact them with constituents' concerns about their members. The video of the debate shows she is completely out of line with her party. All other MPs weigh in with complaints regularly - watch the debate from May!
