Alliance ANPR PCN - overstay 11mins - appeal refused - Harlyn bay, Padstow Cornwall

[lookinforinfo]

SeeNTheir PCN does not comply with the Proventon of Freedoms  Act 2012. That means that only the driver is responsible for the charge. And not the keeper.

Had you not appealed you would not have been liable. It is why we suggest you do not appeal. However is all is not lost and many people have fallen into the trap of appealing and thus making life a bit more difficult for themselves.

The main reason that the PCN is not compliant is that they failed to give you the opportunity to pay the charge on behalf of the driver. Many of the parking rogues fail to comply with Act despite it having been in force for eleven years. 

Tells you all you need to know about their mental acuity.

So many of the rogues fail to get the parking period wrong and Alliance are no exception. It seems beyond their pra brains to realise that quoting the arrival and departure times from their SNPR cameras does not reflect the actual parking period.

Travelling from the arrival point to the parking spot and parking it perfectly within the lines can take several minutes. And then driving out the parking spot to beyond the exit camera can take some time if it is a busy period and other cars are also trying to leave at the same time. 

And this does not take into account disabled and elderly people nor those with small children.

So you actual parking period could be five or more minutes less than their time. Coupled with queues at the pay kiosk could well mean that your actual parking time was within the two hour time frame.

On top of that as you paid there is a five minute Consideration period  at the start of the parking to allow time to read the Terms and see if you want to stay. And at the end of the parking period you have a ten minute grace period.

So with all that going on the wazzacks are pushing it by pursuing you for money you do not owe.
