Parking ticket in York (1 Viewer)

[electricscott]

Are you saying that the numberplate on the pic is not your car?

I was under the impression they used APNR?

Now I am confused...

it is the one in the pic, but the summons had one digit missing, the summons was issued by a human and they are prone to make errors

Here is one for the lawyers. We parked overnight in st George's field that allows overnight parking and received a fine for unsuitable vehicle . Circumstances leading to this misdemeanour allows me to throw our selves on the mercy of the council. However the penalty notice issued has the wrong registration (it is one digit out) although the photographic evidence shows the correct registration. The question is how do they stand legally since they issued the fine to the wrong vehicle? Also should still throw my self upon their mercy or ignore the ticket?

First, do not ignore it, but do contest it on the strength of the the ticket with the wrong reg: chances are that it will be cancelled.

To get back to the St George's Field car park itself not premitting overnight sleeping ... it is probably because it is in a flood plain and regularly floods! So part of the reason for it not being available to motorhomes could well be because of this ... unless you've got one that also doubles as a house boat!

I would imagine that this is almost certainly the case. Below pictures of St Georges Field:

With regards to "insufficient signage at the car park" - I couldn't agree. There is a large sign to this effect displayed alongside each ticket machine which I posted earlier in the thread. oh: That being said, nobody likes a parking ticket so I'm glad you had it reversed on other grounds. :thumb:

As a general rule, it is important to remember that "overnight parking" and "overnight habitation/camping" are two entirely different things.

Mmm so the signs say no overnight parking, therefore camping is ok???????

we feel so lucky as our holiday could have so very different had we delayed by only a couple of weeks!:tears

Now now Roger, you know better than that Habitation includes parking but parking does not include habitation
