Hi
I was directed to Legal Beagles by someone who responded to my question on our local Streetlife.
The situation is that I stopped for no more than 2 minutes in a roadway leading to a development of apartments whilst waiting for my wife.
I remained in the car with the engine running.
The charge, of £100 but reduced to £60 if paid promptly, was justified by the reason "not parked in a marked parking bay".
The road, although private, had a single yellow line, and the sign stated
"This private parking area is reserved for permit holders only.
A valid parking permit must be clearly displayed in the front windscreen at all times.
All vehicles must be parked wholly within a marked parking bay.
No parking on any roadways, crosshatched or paved areas"
The "enforcers" sent me photographs of the sign dated 8 December 2015 whereas I stopped there on 26 August 2016.
They are acting on behalf of a local firm of property agents.
Has anyone any advice, please?
