Hi All
I received a ticket issued by east sussex CC 16/08/2008 for "parked causing an obstruction"
I note there are NO marked parking bays, I did not block anyone, I took a photograph clearly showing that all cars had exited the car park around mine with no problems, and showing that I had not caused an obstruction to anybody.
The only parking restrictions were not to park adjacent to one of the walls, which of course I didn't.
Do you think I have a case to object? Is there a standard type letter I should use?
you need to post pictures of all of the pcn - suitably washed of your personal details. councils often mess them up.
and pictures of the signs and location.
Good question!
It had the eastsussex.gov.uk label all over it and the address to write to or pay is 'The parking Shop' as detailed here: www lewes gov uk/transport/2315 asp
What planet are these people on? . Exactly what are you supposed to be obstructing? There are no marked bays and presumably no instructions on how to park. You should appeal on the basis that the contravention did not occur. I don't think there is a standard wording because its an informal appeal at this stage, but I'm sure someone could draft a reply for you...
Thanks for confirming that I am not mad!
I have written a note as per below, We'll have to wait and see!
I am writing to formally challenge the above Penalty Charge Notice.
On 16/08/2008 my vehicle was issued with a Penalty Charge Notice for the reason of (92) Parked Causing an Obstruction.
In accordance with the Road Traffic Act 1991, my challenge is on the basis that the contravention did not occur. I did not cause an obstruction and complied with all notices displayed. I parked within any marked bays of which there were none, in addition, I made absolutely certain that I did not prevent any other persons or vehicles from being able to enter or exit the car park or their chosen parking places.
I took the liberty of photographing my vehicle on my return which clearly shows that I was parked without causing an obstruction.
For this reason I look forward to receiving notification that the Penalty Charge Notice has been cancelled within 28 days.

On 16/08/2008 my vehicle was issued with a Penalty Charge Notice for the alleged reason of (92) Parked Causing an Obstruction.
In accordance with the Traffic Management Act 2004, my challenge is on the basis that the contravention did not occur. I did not cause an obstruction and complied with all notices displayed. There were no marked bays. In addition, I made absolutely certain that I did not prevent any other persons or vehicles from being able to enter or exit the car park or their chosen parking places.
I took the liberty of photographing my vehicle on my return which clearly shows that I was parked without causing an obstruction. I have enclosed a copy to support my appeal.
For this reason I look forward to receiving notification that the Penalty Charge Notice has been cancelled within 28 days.
I am definitely not an expert, but I would make these changes. There may be some more advice from others later.

No offence, but that should make them laugh at the first sentence! What has RTA 1991 got to do with it?
Also - not seeing the images. i have a vague recollection of seeing a non-compliant one from this Council recently. Is it my browser or are images not showing? I'm seeing others in other posts.

Although I have not looked at the TMA 2004 as yet from what I can see in the top paragraph on the back. It states the Notice to owner will be sent to the registered keeper is it NOT the owner who is responceable for paying the registed keeper may not be the owner as in the case of a leased car. Also contact TPT to see if East Sussex CC have signed up to the scheme. I don't think they have. Which makes it fraud under the fraud act 2006 sections 1 to 5
you are not going to like this... you are not seeing references to web addresses. you are seeing what were web addresses (URLs) with full stops taken out. it is called 'munging'. just copy a 'reference' and paste it into the address bar of your browser, replace the spaces with full stops and press enter. then the magic happens.
