what are you going to do??!

Can someone explain to me why this is unlawful? I guess mine will be following shortly.... I have had no response to my "appeal"...

Hi, I am afraid that I somewhat caved in and did write a very brief letter of appeal to them stating the point that was confirmed back to me about the lack of signage in the area re the fine. I did not put my name or address or anything like that on it - only what was on the piece of toilet paper provided. ( Yes - before you all get mad at me - I know I am silly, but I was a bit scared not to do anything at all!) Anyway, like you, I have not heard anything as yet - I think Thursday is the 28th day! Let's see what happens if anything - I will need your support...! :grin:

I couldn't believe my luck this morning when I found this website and saw that 5printst has had exactly the same thing happen as did to me yesterday! I too did not see the sign at first until it was pointed out to me. It is indeed very weathered (sun bleached!) and does not state anything about the penalty for parking in this area or the bye-laws involved. I took a pic of it tonight to see if this would confirm whether we have an appeal for this point alone. The wording on the sign directly outside this permit area reads as follows: "Car parking - Ely Station Parking in this area is for season ticket and permit holders only. The area marked National Express station parking is a non public area. No daily parking tickets are permitted to park in this area. The station area is managed by NCP. Thank you for your cooperation. *******(name) Area Station Manager Ely." Is this enough to contest the ticket? How formal should the letter be? thanks! Grob
