Adding to the spate of parking ticket threads thought I would add one with a happy ending.
Parked on the strand couple of weeks back, bought a legit ticket from the machine. Went to Kaspas for an awesome waffle and came back to find a parking ticket from the council on the windscreen.
Looked in the car and the ticket I bought had flipped over so wasn't showing the right details. Rules and regs say ticket must be displayed correctly.
Wrote a letter, copied the ticket I bought and the penalty notice and explained what had happened. Asked to hear quickly so that if the penalty was upheld I could pay the cheapoer cost.
Had a letter this morning, they have cancelled the charge, obviously had a photo as they said it was back to front. Nice to see a bit of common sense prevail. But they did say that if it happened again they may not cancel it. No chance of that though, been double checking since!! |  |
