Parking Ticket - Liverpool City Council

[garth]

My old man let a friend of his borrow his bike for a couple of weeks. Three of them went for a bit of a tour around the UK.

They parked in a single car parking space in Liverpool. All three of them paid for a ticket and displayed them.

There wasn't any designated m/c parking.

A ticket turns up in the post today

Reckon he can get out of it?

Greedy bastards, that's three times the revenue for one space...

Doesn't look good.

What is the ticket that has turned up actually for?

Id have thought that stating there were three bikes thus tripling their profits and the fact that you werent from the area and unaware of the rules would make them stop being retards?

I'm mostly interested in the procedure here (got a ticket from Westminster because their system was down).

I have no doubt that the council will push it down the road (why wouldn't they? continued parking doesn't require 'goodwill').

How does it work when you get to PATAS? Written correspondence, right? Seems as if traveling somewhere over £40-£120 is a bit ludicrous - two days wages tops.

I'm currently trying to contest a Liverpool parking tickets. They seem to hire some absolute retards. Then again I would rather be on the dole than do that job.

There are quite a few official (free) bike parks in L'pool city centre - and a lot of parking at the Bold St/ Church St junction that is tolerated although I suspect is not official. The council website DOES clearly say that motorcycles CANNOT park in car bays. I asked a warden who confirmed that and said they are obliged to issue a ticket to an unattended bike parked in a car bay. She added that if a biker was seen parking like that they would "have a word/ advise" rather than wait and then slap on a ticket.

Don't thing you will get out of this one.

Always, always appeal, costs you nothing. State three vehicles were parked in the one bay paying three amounts to do so. Say you were not aware that you couldn't park a motorbike in a vehicle parking bay and that in future you would adhere to it. Say that you understand what a difficult job the wardens have and you support them in their hard work. If there had been a warden present then you would have sort their advice and acted on it.

All bull of course, but it may save you a few bob and costs you nothing to spew out.
