Dear all, I have have scanned the previous threads but i am unable to find a similar scenario. To park outside my home in the street I need a Residents Parking Permit. My existing one had expired so I went to the local council offices to purchase a new one. I was told there would be a delay in sending a permenant permit (one that I can stick to my wind screen and forget about). I was given a printed A4 sheet of paper to act as a temporary permit. I folded the A4 sheet so it displayed the necessary information. The permenant permit took 6 weeks to arrive, a lot longer than the usual 7 - 10 days. In that time there were 3 occasions were, after removing the unsecured temp permit from my dashboard, as it slid about and distracted my driving, I forgot to replace this piece of paper. As a result I recieved 3 PCN from the overly keen traffic warden who knows my car and the fact that I have a temp permit already. I have challenged these notices and the council have rejected these appeals. As im still within the £35 fine time frame im unsure what to do. I think its unfair that I should have to pay these fines as a) Ive already paid to park there b) it was as simple case of forgetfulness rather than me trying to park somewhere I shouldnt. At present I am currently out of work so money is an issue until I can find work again. Do you think I have a case to take them to court to thrash it out and risk paying the next tier of fines, £70 x 3 = £210 or swallow it and only pay £35 x 3 = £105. Surely the fact that they supplied an inadequate temp permit and then take an extraordinary amount of time to supply a permenant permit must come into play. Thank you for your time. Steve.
