Help Needed with Parking on an Adopted Rd

Freedomboy posted a topic in Private Land Parking Enforcement

Hi There, I'm posting here asking for help with what I consider to be a very confusing matter. I have been issued with a couple of parking tickets by a private firm Parking Control Management UK LTD. It was for parking on an unmarked, supposedly private road that had access to a housing estate, the actual Road is Bullrush Close in Croydon, if anyone fancied checking it out on google maps. There are numbered bays and obvious parking areas that are for residents only. However on one side of the road (after the double yellow lines) is an unmarked section of road that I have parked in for years without a problem or need for a permit. After checking with the council they assured me that they had adopted the road some years ago and was under their care for it's upkeep etc. So if it is an adopted road and i'm parking in an unrestricted area how can a private parking firm be issuing me with tickets?!?! After looking at a few websites the general feeling was to ignore the threatening letters and they would eventually go away. The reason why I am worried is that I am now being persued by a company called Newlyn (bailiffs) with whom I had a very nasty experience with years ago. Any advice as to how I should proceed with this would be very helpful as dealing with the Newlyn bailiffs and their employees was an experience I do not want to revisit. Many thanks in advance!!!!!!!
