Parking

[Libellule77]

Ok...here's one for you. I live on a new dockside development. Some of the development has private roads, which now have visible parking enforcement signs which inform you if you park in certain places you will receive a penalty fine.

However the road running along the top of the development is a public road, and has a single yellow line. This road is now being patrolled by the local council Parking vermin (sorry, I mean officers), who come along in their van and wait until the clock ticks past 08:00, so they can ticket any offending vehicles. The estate management company are also displaying their parking enforcement signs on this stretch of road, and they ticket too - surely both the council AND the private company can't both be allowed to issue tickets on this public road ?

I would think that the private company could not issue tickets on a public road, particuarly if the coulcil has its own inforcement officers there as well. Even putting there signs there without council permission would be an offence. I would let the council know as they would be able to get the private company to stop and possibly get there licence to trade revoked.

only coucils are allowed to give out pcn`(penalty charge notice). the councils normally call in out side companies to patrol their streets,e.g national car parks, apcoa.bla, bla.
but there will never be two companies.
