Rapid Drop Fine
Cornet
Posts: 1 Newbie
Lost APCOA appeal for drop off and pick up fine at EMA for total 7 mins duration Ready to pay at exit as on previous visits. Noticed barriers were in upright position so assumed technical problem same a week later on pick up
It appears ema had changed drop off and pick up charge system. I was not aware Now have pay online. Was not aware of this. First PCN came three days after pick up. In May 2025 Ema released statement
that barriers had been removed . They were still in place June 2025 .APACOA sent me photocopy of signage The new rapid drop off charges and payment is written on the bottom of the signage is so small you
have to get out of your car to read it . Is there any point going to POPLA?
PS I have been told that barriers have been removed August 2025 and Neon light signage been implemented. Coincidence?

Don't bother with POPLA
Ignore any debt recovery letters
Shame as easy win if you had used the airport template2
