We live in a road, that is made up of privately owned houses and flats and which also contains around 15 social housing flats.
These properties were built 5 years ago.
This morning, a man from UKPC put up a load of parking notices, with various rules about parking in designated bays, displaying parking permits, time limits on parking in visitor bays and non return to visitor bays within 48 hours ETC.
Charges are £100, reduced to £60, if paid within 14 days.
None of the residents have been given prior notice that this company was going to be doing this!
The road is a private road, operated by a separate entity to the lease holders of the properties, and is only for the 90+ properties in this road.
At this point in time, no residents have been issued with any parking permits for their vehicles.
It seems to us that this company (UKPC) could, in theory, start issuing penalty/charge tickets to anyone now using this road.
Is there any legal right for residents to be informed that this was going to happen, or do the owners of the road have no legal duty to do so, other than putting up these signs?
Thanks.JD444
