Bromley Police Station Access Road - Caught in traffic
obstruction
DIR By: srsiva69

Hi everyone,
​I have received a Parking Charge Notice (Notice to
Keeper) from Britannia Parking for "Parked/stopped in a no
parking area" at Bromley Police Station Access Road, High Street
Access.
​Date of Event: 11/05/2026
​Date of Notice: 15/05/2026
​Vehicle Entry: 16:43:46
​Vehicle Exit: 16:50:02
​Total Duration: 6 minutes 16 seconds
​Context:
The vehicle did not park or voluntarily stop on the access road.
The driver used the access road for its intended purpose: to
enter the Waitrose car park.
​Upon entering the access road, progress was initially
delayed because the driver directly in front completely blocked
the road to let a passenger down. Once that vehicle moved, the
driver proceeded directly into the Waitrose car park, dropped
off a passenger there, turned around, and exited back down the
access road.
​Britannia’s ANPR cameras have merely recorded the total
transit and turnaround time (6 mins 16 secs) between the main
road entry and exit points. They have no video evidence or
photographic proof of the vehicle actually being stationary, let
alone "parked," on the restricted access road itself. The
vehicle was in motion or waiting in traffic for the duration,
using the road strictly for access to the retail site.
​Images of the PCN (Redacted):

​I would appreciate your advice on how best to word the
initial appeal to Britannia as the Registered Keeper.
Thank you!

The suggestion is that the driver did not have the consideration
period to engage with the signs and therefore did not agree to
the terms and conditions. The first step is to appeal as the
registered keeper and do not mention the driver outlining you
defence. Normally 5 minutes is granted but if you can provide
sufficient information however unlikely they may not pursue the
PCN. You then appeal to POPLA and see what transpires.

Can you put up a photo of the signage?

The Notice to Keeper is not PoFA compliant so there can be no
keeper liability.
However, I would appeal as the Keeper and state that you
understand that the driver was caught in traffic and at no point
did they park. State that the driver was simply trying to exit
and at no point was a parking contract entered into.
