Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some advice about a parking ticket I received while shopping in the Morrisons store in Royston, North Herts. Though the Car Park is clearly next to the Morrisons, has Morrisons trolley parks in & to all intent & purposes looks like every other Morrisons car park in the country it's not and I received a parking ticket from the council for not buying a ticket. On the wall opposite the entrance I used, there is a small sign saying pay at meter and in the other half of the car park there is a meter for paying but it's obscured by a large overgrown bush and I didn't see either it or the little sign. I was using the car park for the first time & genuinely thought it was for the use of Morrisons customers. Can anyone here suggest a legal route and opinion on whether contesting the charge £25/£50 is a good idea? This post has been edited by Metal Flamingo: Tue, 19 Mar 2019 - 12:26 |

Hi Everyone who helped with this.
Below is the response to my appeal received today. we won. well done. I'm wondering what to do next? They don't say which of the 10/11 grounds were upheld. The reason I ask is I don't know if it was the signage issue. If it was the signage it would suggest anyone parking in this car park as it is currently signed, or not, doesn't have to pay to park. Your thoughts, and once again thanks very much. Contact : Management Support Unit Telephone : 01462 474631 E-Mail : parking.pcn@north-herts.gov.uk Date : 03/04/2019 Dear Metal F Notice of acceptance of Representations - Traffic Management Act 2004 PCN No : HC5035874A Date of Contravention : 16/03/2019 Vehicle Registration : GY10RXF Contravention Code : 83 Parked in a car park without clearly displaying a valid pay & display ticket or voucher or parking clock Location of Contravention : Princes Mews Car Park, Royston Thank you for your letter. I am pleased to inform you that I have accepted your explanation in response to the Penalty Charge Notice detailed above. The Penalty Charge Notice issued in connection with the contravention has now been cancelled. Yours sincerely Parking Administrator |

Good result.
I suspect that they may have already lost a few here on lack of clear signage, we can't easily access TPT decisions so a guess but doubt they would have accepted without knowing that they were on slippery ground. |
