I parked my car in the Shoreham Pond Road car-park at 13.53 but did not have enough money to pay for 2 hours so paid for one hour and went in to my class. Just under an hour later I exchanged a £5 note and went back to the same pay and display machine and purchased another ticket. To my surprise the second ticket came out virtually (but not completely) identical to the previous one with the same end-time. (See photos of tickets) It was not totally surprising that they were consecutive tickets because people all go in to classes at 2pm. I doubt if it would be possible to purchase two tickets with identical time-stamps? I put the second ticket with the first ticket on the dash, assuming that a traffic warden would see that I had paid more than I would have had to pay had I had the right change. When I got back I found I had been given a PCN I appealed this with NSL through the Adur web-site and they turned it down. When the NTO arrived I appealed to Adur and they also rejected the appeal on the grounds that I didn't have a ticket up to the correct time and that I was (anyway) guilty of meter feeding. There is nothing on the machines to say that you may not purchase a second ticket to extend your time. It is a long-stay car-park so you can purchase tickets for up to 8 hours. There is nothing in The Adur District (Off-street parking places)(Civil enforcement and consolidation) Order 2011 http://www.adur.gov.uk/docs/parking/2011-off-street-parking-places/119800-final-order-2011.pdf to say that meter feeding is an offence. I have attached a photo of the notice board. It says you can get a list of the contraventions from the Adur Civic Centre but I went there today and you cannot. They've never heard of the document. A friend of mine was told by one of the traffic wardens a couple of weeks later that the particular pay-and-display machine had been playing up, and it keeps being out of order. I feel that, as I had tried my best to pay the right amount and that it was a faulty machine I should not have to pay the fine?
