Euro Parking Services - Potters Bar
DIR By: cm6578

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
Received a PCN from Euro Parking services.
The driver stopped in a parking space on a service road after
midnight whilst waiting for a friend. There were no signs as you
entered the service Road. There was a sign on the building wall
but the sign isn't clearly visible from the drivers point of
view as there are big bins in front of it.
Can I appeal and use the Schedule 4 of the Protection of
Freedoms Act 2012 which I have used for APCOA Stansted airport
in the past and have had the parking charge cancelled
Or should I appeal that no clear signs.
Any advice, help, I would be grateful

Airports are not �relevant land� under

It�s unlikely, but not impossible, that this applies to your
latest PCN. If you follow the advice above we can advise.

Sorry I know I posted this above but have now read the forum
guide.
My Son received a Notice to keeper from Euro Parking services.
The PCN is for parking on a premises whilst failing to enter the
VRN at the kiosk.
The driver stopped in a parking space on a service road after
midnight whilst waiting for a friend. There were no signs as you
entered the service Road. There was a sign on the building wall
but the sign isn't clearly visible from the drivers point of
view as there are big bins in front of it.
It was gone midnight and any kiosks would have been shut for the
driver to enter any VRN. We have until the 7th April to either
pay the reduced amount or appeal.
Any advice, help, I would be grateful
This is the entrance to the service road. The driver stopped in
one of the bays on the left

Hi,
Would anyone be able to give me some much needed advice on this
please, I would be very grateful. It is coming up to the 28 days
to appeal. Not sure if I should appeal on the basis that there
is no clear signage.
Thank you

If you show us a draft appeal we can advise. I'd do so as the
keeper, focus on insufficient signage, and mention that is the
signage on the site is prohibitive insofar as it does not offer
a contract to park to non permit holders.

Thank you for your replying to me DWMB2 and appreciate your
advice. I did notice EPS have made an error on location so have
included that point on the appeal too.
This is the draft appeal
Dear Euro Parking Services,
I am the registered keeper of vehicle [registration] and I am
writing to formally appeal the Parking Charge Notice referenced
above. You allege �Parking on the premises whilst failing to
enter the vehicle registration number at the kiosk�. I dispute
this charge in full. My grounds for appeal are as follows:
1. No signage at the entrance and inadequate visibility of on
site signs
There is no signage at the entrance to the Service Road
indicating that it is a controlled or managed parking area. The
only sign present is mounted on a wall and is obstructed by
large commercial wheelie bins, making it impossible to see from
a low vehicle, particularly when the vehicle is not facing the
sign. The area is also poorly lit after midnight, further
reducing visibility. Because the signage is neither prominent
nor legible, no contract could have been formed.
2. The signage is prohibitive and does not offer a contract to
park
The wording on the signage is prohibitive, stating that parking
is for permit holders only. Prohibitive signage cannot form a
contract with a driver who is not permitted to park. Instead, it
amounts to a notice of trespass, which only the landowner�not a
parking operator�can pursue. As no contractual offer was made,
no parking charge is enforceable.
3. Incorrect location details on the Notice to Keeper
The Notice to Keeper states the location as: �Service Road (33
Darkes Lane) The Service Rd, Buckinghamshire, EN6 1QA.� This is
factually incorrect. EN6 1QA is in Hertfordshire, not
Buckinghamshire. Issuing a Notice to Keeper with incorrect
location details is a material error.
For the reasons above�lack of entrance signage, prohibitive
wording, and incorrect location details�the Parking Charge
Notice is invalid and must be cancelled. Please confirm
cancellation in writing.

H, I was wondering if the draft appeal that I have posted below
is ok to send to Euro parking services?
Thank you

That should do for the initial appeal.
