It's rubbish. If the road is private land, it's nothing to do with the council. Are they going to ticket people parking on their driveways next? I would suggest the traffic wardens are trespassing and could be asked to leave by the landowner.
send your appeal in with a letter stating it is a private road and that the trafic wardens should be briefed on this. if the council still continue would all the residents get together to sue the council for harasment or such like? or the tennis club issue a formal notice to the council that their wardens are not allowed on site and any that do venture on will be sued for trespass?
bl**dy parking gestapo, quick to try to make us pay, try to get compensation out of them? no chance!
Thanks for the replies.
The parking attendants seem to have gone mad. I've counted around 70 tickets issued in the last 3 days. I'm the proud owner of 2 (and will probably have another one in the morning). A disabled neighbour a few doors up has 5. Three for him and two for his daughter.
I've spoken to the tennis club - one of the committee will happily come to court with me. Also I've Emailed the council asking them to confirm the roads status in writing.
Next question - can I get any tickets I accumulate withdrawn at my first court hearing, or do I have to go to court for each ?
They've ticketed a lot of people so far, and anyone not a resident will probably pay up. Surely that can't be legal. Is there any way to get them to hand the money back to all those poor motorists ?
Hi - I got another ticket yesterday, and another this morning.
I spoke with the Parking attendant to let her know she was trespassing on private land today. She caled her supervisor, who then called her supervisor. So there was me and 4 parking attendants in total. They are acting under the guidance of a Road Traffic Order.
The council 2 weeks ago advertised in a local paid for paper that they were going to place an order on the road. When no-one complained they took out the order the following week. They are now implementing it.
Could someone please confirm the legality of this ? It is 100% unadopted, 100% ownder by the tennis club, they have 100% given me permission to park there, and have not under any circumstances authorised the council to do this.
However they are continuing to ticket. Both myself and other residents are feeling very harassed.
