Hello,
Would like some advice regarding an appeal to POPLA regarding a PCN from PPS. The situation was that the car was parked in a careers bay due to the reason of the visit for approx of 30 minutes. The vehicle normally used for the care assistant job role was off road (that car had a permit) therefore the vehicle used on that day did not have a permit. However the council were advised that another car would be used without a permit in which they advised this would be okay on a short term basis. On the issue of the PCN, PPS were contacted and told the council were aware of the vehicle being used without a permit and the response was that PPS should have been told. The signs state if no permit then visitor permits are valid for 4 hours park only in the allocated bays, however, there are no visitor bays clearly marked within that car park. The signs also do not have a contact telephone number to make them aware the vehicle had no permit and the signs are also not at eye level. On advice from MoneySavingExpert.com waited for the first notice of keeper letter to arrive before the first appeal was sent to PPS. A appeal to PPS was used from http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com which PPS has now rejected and given a POPLA code for further appeal.
Really appreciate any help given in aid of the POPLA appeal. If needed the appeal letter and photos of the parking area and signs can be posted.
Many Thanks
