Hello – first time used the service, thanks in advance for your help.
I went swimming with my family at the London Aquatic Centre today. We parked the car, went for a swim and paid the parking fee (£1.50) inside the reception hall (the car park uses automatic number plate recognition).
On return I found a parking ticket from Gemini Parking Solutions for “Parking in No Parking area”. It states I have to pay £100 within 28 days, reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.
Our car was parked next to another vehicle, (see pic ‘where parked’), one of about 20 vehicles parked side by side on this stretch, it’s the one with the roof box.
There is a sign outside the car park boundaries which states that “vehicles are not permitted to park within this area. Parking on yellow lines or hatched markings is not permitted.” (see centre right of pic marked ‘location’ – it's stuck on a lamp post in the opposite direction that we had to walk - also enclosed a closeup of the sign).
There are no markings on the ground where we parked such as hatching, lines etc (see pic marked ‘space’)
I intend to appeal and would appreciate if you could give tips on what grounds I should give. Please let me know if i'm in the wrong forum or sub-thread.
thanks for your help!
