Parking Ticket in My Spot - Appeal Rejected - P4Parking

Thanks! I've written to my local MP with a long and strong note about what's happened here. Meanwhile look forward to other responses of my queries above.

So why didn't the new ManCo kick out the scumbags? Do it now.

I've been told by a fellow resident (who's on the residential board) that they are reviewing the termination process but that can only be confirmed once we've got a replacement. We do have problems with unauthorised parking over the development blocking access to emergency services from some housing association tenants so I think they do want to progress with some form of protection against that.

But I think it's pretty clear that they should be acting in the best interest of the owners, not of their own pockets.

Hi There

So they've already told me they won't be able to interfere with the ticket but I'm thinking of sending the following - any advice?

"Dear Sir

Thanks for getting back to me yesterday regarding the queries I had on my recent parking ticket.

I've read through my lease in detail and can confirm that the terms of my lease have been broken by P4Parking, and the contract undertaken by the management of the development to enforce rules that I never agreed to as a resident.

There is a specific term in the lease that defines Estate Regulations as "for the benefit of use and enjoyment of the Development of any part thereof" - In this particular case, removing my legal right to park is not related to displaying any such permit.

In addition, I have not entered into any contract that would charge me £100 (the P4Parking ticket cost) for the privilege of using my right to park in my Allocated Parking Space.

I would also like to point out that, contrary to your email, it appears that many permits do not have a number plate registered with them. I must pose the question to you as to what benefit there would be for the resident to register a number plate on a permit, if not to ensure a central system has a record of which car should be parked in which spot?

As you are liable for the actions of the 3rd party in this particular situation due to conflicting with my lease agreement, I would appreciate your immediate action to have this ticket withdrawn. The 3rd party is interfering with my lease, which is a tort.

Please let me know if you'd like any further information to help in ensuring a quick resolution. I'm also aware that you're currently reviewing potential replacements for P4Parking, and I would strongly recommend ensuring that our lease agreement is not broken by any other 3rd party.

Yours Faithfully,

How does this sound as a first message to the management company? I don't have the "senior managers" name but assuming my contact (Alan) will forward appropriately.
