thank you. what if the neighbour was aware we are there and specifically allowed this contravention? We l;et them partially block our dropped kerb and vice versa all the time, neither of us got a ticket before now. This has happened when we have been visiting each other as well. Between us as neighbours we have no problem with this issue, .

We got a PCN which states: PARKED IN A SPECIAL ENFORCEMENT AREA ADJACENT TO A FOOTWAY, CYCLE TRACK OR VERGE LOWERED TO MEET THE LEVEL OF THE CARRIAGEWAY contravention code 27 We have a valid parking permit for our street, and had parked partially blocking a dropped kerb of a neighbour. The observation time was one minute. Is this valid ? Thanks.

i've just looked at the PCN agin - it's very confusing....it says "Parking incident and location: exceeded free parking duration at Lidl hainault/ full address stated vehicle reg stated incident date 19.09.17 PCN number stated issue date 22.02.17 parking charge £90. allowed duration of stay 00:10:00 actual duration of stay : 00:50:29 shoppers entering reg at the terminal are allowed 01:30"

thank you so much, that would be brilliant. .. how/ where do I send them to

have got photos on my phone but forum rules said not to upload unless in pdf, so I typed out most of what the signs say - see above, thanks.

thanks... no, didn't pay with debit card

I honestly don't understand your response; you seem to be asking about how I paid for my shopping? I don't see how it is relevant to my situation if I paid in cash or card. I usually use cash for small purchases. I'm here to ask if Athena have a right to claim £90 from me for parking in that car park because I don't have a shopping receipt or other proof of payment.

sorry, i dont understand what that response means

A while ago someone I know got a ticket for exceeding the allowed time at freeport braintree, wrote ot Braintree Management and they waived it, but they were able to produce receipts as evidence of shopping; i have no receipts.
