Hi,I've had trouble from these idiots for a while now where I live,I tried to find my old topic but couldn't.

I own a non sign written long wheel base Mercedes sprinter that I use for work,holidays and social use,even shopping.I park it on the t junction where I have been told via email by the agency countrywide that the council owns and manages. UK cpm have errected signs roughly 3m in the air on lampposts all across the estate and t junction as well as at the entrance to the road. Last Sunday I received a ticket over night at 04:01 AM,I want to appeal this ticket the best way I Can,I can only appeal via post so it needs to be handwritten,can anybody help me with how to word my appeal please.

Here is the email I received from the landowner/management;

We do not own any land, however we are responsible for the running of the estate which does not include the T shaped part of the road, which is Council adopted. There is no parking enforcement on this part of the estate as it does not form part of the development. The signs erected are a warning to people wishing to park within the maintained estate.

The agreement that you have with your letting agent does not transcend the law. You are actually placing the owner of the property in breach of their terms and conditions, however it is their responsibility to ensure that the letting agents form your tenancy agreement based on their Deeds, which they haven’t so therefore it would appear that your tenancy agreement is voided in parts, again I would contact them about this, there could be other parts of your tenancy agreement that are also void so it is in your interest as a tenant to review this, for your rights.



Your comment regarding being ticketed in the homeowner’s parking space is also incorrect. We would not take the homeowner to court regarding a parking ticket, however we would have grounds to take them to court if they continue to allow a tenant to park commercial vehicles on the development.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Edit: the road is Mercer close larkfield so you can Google street view it for a better idea.

So I've just gone to my van today and noticed the signs have been taken down! I have not said a word to cpm so the council must have contacted them ?

Yay!

Lynnzer may well have helped here, with his email, below. Now you need proof from the Council as to any action taken/a copy of any communication sent to UKCPM about Mercer Road. If you can get proof that the Council told UKCPM to ''get orf moi laaand'' then you'll have evidence and grounds to sue for compensation for this ticket. And you will be able to dob them in to the DVLA.

I just emailed them for you.
Perhaps as it's a new enquirer they won't mix things up.
Here's the email:
Sir, could you please advise on the status of Mercer Road, Larkfield.
Is this a road under local authority jurisdiction, ie maintainable at the public expense; or is it, or any part of it outside of that description.
Could you please advise also on any TRO's applicable to that road and provide a copy if any exist.



You do need to address this trash from the Managing Agents though, looks like they are taking it upon themselves to give ill-informed legal advice on tenancy agreements:

Just in. My request for info from the council.
I acknowledge receipt of your emails dated 6 June and 14 June, which have been logged with the Enquiry Reference of TS/2017/294.

Please accept my apologies for the late response. Your emails appear to have mistakenly been sent to our Waste section and due to various staff absences have only been forwarded to us today.

Status of Mercer Close, Larkfield
We understand that some sections of Mercer Close are highway land and some sections are privately owned. We do not hold information relating to the extents of highway land.

Kent County Council are the highway authority and will be able to assist you with requests for the extents of highway land. The extents of privately owned land are available from Land Registry. If there is a management company for Mercer Close, they may also be able to assist you, we do not hold information relating to management companies for privately owned land.

Traffic Regulation Orders for Mercer Close
There are no Traffic Regulation Orders currently in place for the public highway/adopted section of Mercer Close.

Please note that the land owner, or manager of the area, may wish to arrange their own parking controls, and enforcement, on land that they own.

They've removed the signs from the T junction which is where the management company have told me they dont have any enforcement there,the photo someone put in here also shows that t junction as highway land.

Cpm are wrong,otherwise why take the signs down.

Go back to the Managing Agents and get them to demarcate it - telling them that ticketing on the highway is fraud so they better get it right.

Get them to put their neck in a noose rather than you running around.

Yes, you state that you have definitive proof they are ticketing on land that they are not authorised to issue parking notices to. If the ticket is not immediately cancelled, your details removed from their systems, and a payment of £250 made to cover their misuse of your data (breach of data proteciton act stuff) you will seek to obtain a couert order to that effect.

They knew they shouldnt operate there, so I would be incliined to hit them hard.

If it ticket was issued in the same place as your last one, then do the same as you have already done.

Wait for others, but I'd be considering a Letter Before Claim to both the Managing Agent and the PPC (tell them you consider them both to be 'jointly and severally liable') for £250 due to misuse of your personal data under the Data Protection Act.

You will need to proceed on the basis that they'll just bluster on with.
If you could get written confirmation, even by email, from the council that's it's public land then just go onto the claim against them, even if they drop their own claim.

My initial findings suggest that Mercer Close, Larkfield was adopted by Kent County Council in 2011. The Close also appears to be publicly maintainable highway and not deemed private land. The issue of Fixed Penalty Notices, so far as I am aware can only be issue by a Local Authority, where a valid Traffic Regulation Order has been written.

That is from the highways definitions team,i have resent an email to them and have the day off tomorrow to chase it all up.

Ive just got off the phone to kcc,they have confirmed that the t junction is public highway including the pavement,to get it in writing will cost me £90 from the highways definition team,which is more than the original ticket...

OK then try from another direction. Contact your local councillor and complain that someone is illegally ticketing vehicles when the road is a public road. Tell the councillor that this is plain and simple fraud.

The space on the form is inadequate for anything but the most basic of defences, especially if you're making the counter-claim
You don't need the document yet but could include the £90 charge in your costs

Write a full document and send it as a pdf but make sure you sign it

Thought for comments :

If the OP wants to ensure that the council is really annoyed by UKCPM, instead of paying £90 for the document, how about a witness summons for the head of the Highways Department ?

OP

I drive the owl van you've probably seen round Mercer close & have also received a court letter over 2 accounts of parking my van here.

Currently getting my defence together but have ticked the box 'intend to defend this claim in full'...

When did you speak to Scott? I have also been in contact with him but when we spoke he wasn't aware people were getting ticketed on Mercer Close.

You two should get together and also knock on doors of neighbours to see if you are the only two at this stage.

Go to your MP about this.

And I would look to include a counter-claim in both your defences. So run your defence wordings by us/MSE first!

OwlGirl, do we assume you are this MSE poster?

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5682929

We will all follow your cases with interest and hope you do both counter-claim. I have some wording for a counter-claim I wrote for a couple of people in a similar position, if one of you wants to pm me.

I post as Coupon-mad on MSE but I block pm's on there, but not here (within reason).
