PCN OP5385161 : failure to pay for parking : Stratford Chobham
Academy car park
DIR By: beano5892

---------------------------------------------------------
Please note that 14 day window expires tomorrow as PCN was not
opened until today as I have been away and the driver did not
open any post not addressed to them.
Facts:
The car was driven to a school for the driver to provide free
hockey coaching lessons for years 4&5. On arriving at the school
they were told that the school car park was not available and
was directed and accompanied to this car park where other staff
members had parked. The signage for the car park clearly says
that staff members can park there. The driver was not given any
parking permit or badge but simply told to park there
A PCN has now been received by the owner saying that no parking
charges were paid, which is correct because the driver was told
to park there by the school and no mention was made that the
driver needed to pay.
The driver has contacted to school and was informed that
multiple members of staff also received tickets that week and
that they will handle but the 14 day window to pay/appeal is
tomorrow and I don't know what to do. The letter was only opened
today as I have just arrived back from holiday and the driver
did not open the PCN as it was addressed to me, as the owner.
As owner (and not a teacher) I don't want to rely on the school
not appealing.
I attach PCN photos below

Please can someone advise me what to do?
Is this akin to Heathrow drop off NtK./ driver disclosure?
Many thanks, in advance

First things first contact the school and ask that the PCN is
cancelled under the circumstances forget the 14 days it is 28
days. Also looking at the images it is NCP who on the entrance
and exit signs but the notice is issued by Ocean so whose terms
and conditions apply.
This can be looked into further but it should be resolved by the
school.
