Dear helpful souls
I parked in Southend-on-Sea's Beechcroft Lower Car Park. I'm not from around there so don't know the area that well. I paid for parking using the app - when I opened the app, it automatically picked up Beechcroft "Upper" Car Park. When I returned to my car I had received a ticket. I didn't realise until after the PCN that there is a "Lower" and an "Upper" car park. A wrote a polite email to the council advising that I had paid for parking albeit for the upper deck, instead of the lower part. They responded by stating that I had parked in a Permit Bay and notwithstanding the fact that I had paid for parking, a fine was still due. Their letter is below: page 1 Page 2 page 3 I genuinely did not see any signage stating where I parked was permit-only. Your suggestions on how to deal with this would greatly appreciate.

Good news guys, the Tribunal has accepted my appeal. In fact, Southend on Sea didn't contest it at all. Thanks for all your help and assistance. Another win for the members of Pepipoo |
