Hi all, I'm after a bit of advice.... I received a ticket for parking in a loading bay. I was away from the van for a total of 8 minutes while I made my delivery and arrived back as the ticket was being issued. I asked why a ticket was issued and the warden said she saw no evidence of loading and I would have to appeal. I sent in a letter as follows:- Dear Sirs, I wish to appeal against the parking ticket I received on the 14th May 2009, while parked in the loading bay in Mayflower Street. I pulled into the loading bay at 15:59, I can be exact about the time because I was due to pick my son up from his drum lesson at 5pm and I still had another delivery to make. I was already running late as I had attempted to use the loading bays in Cornwall Street or Market Avenue but they were all occupied, mainly by cars I might add. As I was pushed for time I jogged down to Cornwall Street, where I was making my delivery. The proprietor was busy serving a customer so it was a few moments before I was able to complete my delivery and make my way back to the van. I arrived back at 16:07, just as the parking attendant was issuing me with a ticket. I had been away from my van for just 8 minutes, I was a commercial vehicle parked in a loading bay, and was using the bay for exactly what it is designed. On this basis I feel that the cancellation of this ticket is warranted, and hope that you will agree. I look forward to hearing from you in due course. They have replied, refusing to consider the appeal unless I supply a photocopy of my V5 document. As far as I am aware, as it was a loading bay and not goods vehicles only the class of vehicle is irrelevent so I'm in a mind not to do it. They have also requested a photocopy of the delivery note. There was no need for a delivery note so there isn't one. Basically they have given me 14 days to respond, or pay the full amount. In a nut shell I am livid. I could write to the shop where I made the delivery and ask if they could write a letter comfirming the delivery but again I'm not in a mind to do so. I am feeling in a particularly belligerent and feel like making a meal of this. Should I swallow my pride and get the documentation they want or push the appeal procedure as far as I can to make a point. Cheers, Phil.
