  • PCN Reading BC - Kings Meadow Car Park, Advise HELP!!!

    I am in need for some advice, I received a Parking Charge Notice & tried to appeal, but haven’t been successful.

    My appeal I sent was,


    This is the first time I have used the car park for several weeks, the charge was usually £7 for the day, but has changed to £7.50 for up to 12 hours.

    As I have always done over the past 2 years I paid the £7 charge & obviously did not notice that it has been up lifted to £7.50 to which I received a Penalty Charge.

    I have a copy of the parking ticket which states I paid £7 at 07:45 - 08/07/15 but cannot attach a file to this appeal.

    I would like to appeal this ticket as this is a genuine error as I assumed the charge had not changed, also that it does not clearly state that there has been an up lift of 50 pence to £7.50 for up to 12 hours at eye level.


    The reply I have received was,


    The ticket clearly shows the time of expiry therefor the fine stands.


    Basically there is no visible notice except for a very small sign 3 foot off flour level showing the charges of £2.50 for up to 2 hours & £7.50 for up to 12 hours, nothing in between.

    I think it is totally unfair that I paid £7.00 (which is clearly on the parking ticket) & they have just said it clearly shows the expiry on the ticket, if I noticed that it was £7.50 I would have gone back to the car & got another 0.50p.
    However if I did notice after paying the £7.00 I would have had to of paid another £7.50 on top of what I already paid.

    Has anyone got any ideas how I can appeal this further?

      No, they just sent me a letter saying.

      I am in receipt of your correspondence regarding the above PCN.

      The PNC was issued correctly to the vehicle parked after the expiry of paid time.

      You were parked after the expiry of paid for time at a Pay & Display bay; therefore the PNC has been correctly issued.

      When using Pay & display ticket machines, the amount of coinage accepted is shown on the display at the front of the machine for you to check before requesting a ticket.

      The fee paid and departure time is clearly printed on the front of the ticket for you to check before displaying it in the windscreen of the vehicle. The onus is on the driver to check the machine before requesting a ticket and the details on the ticket before displaying it in their vehicle.

      You are, therefore, requested to comply with the PNC, However, the reduced charge will still be accepted provided payment is received within 14 days.
      Failure to make payment will result in the full PNC.
