Harrow Hill Langely, Parking Eye Appeal

DeafRo2012

Hi All

I recently parked in Harrow Hill car park for around 20 minutes, I do not live in the area so I was unaware the car park has dual ownership (I certainly do now!) I bought a ticket via the council parking meter which, I paid cash for but kept the ticket, it was the nearest meter, I received a parking ticket from parking eye which I appealed as in my mind, I had bought a ticket and had the evidence of this, however they have since rejected my appeal and explained that I had an invalid ticket, after some research I now realise I must have parked in the school side.

They have photo evidence of my car coming in and out of the car park but not where I parked, they have offered me the reduced fee of £20 or an appeal to POPLA, my intention is to appeal to POPLA under the grounds that the signage was not clear and I had all good intentions and bought what I thought was the correct ticket, I am just worried that this will be treated as an admission that I did not have the correct ticket and may need to pay the £60 instead?

I am also not nearby and have no recollection of the signs or photo evidence to support a claim of poor signage, I would appreciate any evidence you guys have of this, if possible?

What do you reckon? pay the reduced £20 or go to appeal? on principal it just feels like daylight robbery that I would like to fight

Can you find images of the car parks on Google Streetview? Is it 2 car parks next to each other with no clear fence?
