Obstruction.. Confused

I could walk past that no problems.

Is it a council run carpark? if so i thought bikes could park for free in car spaces.

Send a nother letter (recoreded delivery) stating that this was a good place to park as it is the right size for a motorcycle and that you freed up spaces for PAYING cars to park.

If anything a rewards in order Laughing

is that the entrance to the carpark? Confused If so then I would say from those pics that yes, you are obstructing it but you wouldn't have been if you'd gone a couple of feet further into the space.........

A doctors car park eh? Tell them to go swivel, almost certain that the ticket will be unenforcable anyway, despite it being very dubious that it was obstuction.

rough luck on the OP but i've said it before - prepare for a massive rise in fines/penalties/taxes over the next few years. governments are bankrupt and you will be paying for it!

in spades! Mad

Were you actually going to the docs.... If you were then complain to them...

If not, while it may be free that will be for people attending the Doc's.

Yes, but can somebody with a pram or in a wheelchair?

Then again, if there's no slope, only a drop onto the pavement, the OP could argue that no prams or wheelchairs could possibly use that bit as an exit anyway, and pedestrians can walk through.

It's not an exit though, the fence has been broken so no one with a wheel chair or pram would be going anywhere near the ped.

Lets just say a push bike was parked there, or leaning against that little fence, would you get a fine for that?

A motorcycle is basically a push bike with an engine, so you have your rights. "Obstructive" that's bit of an insult Confused

I just think the traffic warden was bored shitless, and found fining you was the easiest option and best way to cure his boredom...

Found this link on another thread:

https://www.ticketfighter.co.uk/private.htm

The first line reads: "Firstly the important thing to remember is that Private Parking Companies are not backed by any aspect of criminal law" lol

Its probably easier to accept it any pay- which is how businesses like that work I suppose. They probably wont back down even if you do fight it.

Lmfao.


Looks like a PPC. They have no power to enforce - post it up on Pepipoo and give them ALL the info including any letters yousent and they will tell you to ignore it.

Here you go some previous cases:

I'm writing to contest a parking ticket received on 20th July 2009, at around 16:00.
I am appealing because the Parking Charge Notice was based on 'Obstructive Parking', when my parking and the positioning/location of my vehicle was not obstructive. My vehicle is a moped, the car park was full of cars and there we no spaces available so I parked in what could be described as the end of a row of parking spaces. It was between a railing and another car. The car in the space next to me still had more than enough room to open all car doors fully and my vehicle was not obstructing any other vehicle or person in the car park or outside of it.

As you can see on the picture provided, my parking was not obstructive in any way and as far as my knowledge goes, perfectly acceptable.

Name: ------ Wilson

Address: ----- Close, Royton, Oldham, Lancashire, OL2 ---.

Reference Number: 0450207

Vehicle registration: --57 ---



thell send back "appeal rejected, pay up" or something similar. PPC cannot fine you like the council can, its an unenforceable invoice worded in such a way that makes it look like a council PCN. If you do ignore from now on, they will send you more letters threatning court action, kidnapping your dog, and all sorts, but after about 5 letters theyll move on and target another victim.

as Geri says, ask on the pepipoo forums, they will reassure you and give you proper reasons why you should ignore it, im on there myself at the moment asking for advice on a council PCN i recieved yesterday Wink there very good.
