Thank you, Ericsbrother for that information. I will check carefully before submitting appeal.

Thanks, but which advice are you referring to?

I received a ParkingEye Parking Charge Notice for £100. I had stopped my car on the corner of the central parking area at the Royal Free, and was waiting in it, engine running, while my friend went to drop something in to one of the wards. This took 16 minutes in total. I had not noticed any signs saying no waiting. However, I saw subsequently no waiting signs at the 'set down zone' which appears to be the area by the wall of the hospital, and marked with diagonal lines. I was not parked in a space, was not blocking a space, and was not preventing any vehicle from passing me. I wrote a letter, but received a letter saying I didn't purchase a valid ticket etc. Then I wrote another letter saying I was not 'parked' but sitting in the car, etc. I just received another letter saying my appeal was unsuccessful 'due to the fact that the car park is a 'Pay & Display'/Paid Parking' car park only'. I telephoned and was told that it is private land and I was not allowed to wait. Is it worth appealing to POPLA? The letter says that if I lose I will have to pay the full amount rather than the reduced one. Your advice appreciated, as I have been reading previous posts but still not certain of best course.
