Hi,
The Driver entered Riddlesdown common in order to park. It started raining when they drove in forcing the stay inside the car for about 10 minutes
The presence of a ticketed system was only realised when the rain stopped and we were out of the car. The signs were difficult to read coming in and also lack of lighting combined with a light rain prevented easy viewing from inside the car.
When it was decided to park and procure ticket, a few men walked in and proceeded to play football in the car park. After trying to reason with them to leave and being unable to convince them to leave, We decided at that point that it wasn't worth parking inside the commons carpark as any damage to the car would have coated me hundreds of pounds. I proceeded to leave and park on the streets adjacent to the commons car park. We can provide evidence as we met another parent who actually had parked there before us.
I have now been sent a Invoice to NTK for payment by car parking company. I rang up the commons ranger team and they felt they would not be able to help. Apparently I must have overstayed their grace period.
Could somebody help to check if there are any ways for me avoid this fine. Have attached some pictures for reference.
What is the best decency for appeal?
Thanks,
