Notice to keeper PCN
DIR By: Jake123

I received a notice to keeper PCN in the post today and I think
its ridiculous. I entered a small area by a shop which I thought
was just a small lay by for shop customers to stop, pop into the
shop and leave. I was stopped for a total of 8 minutes. No
signage as you enter or leave and just a small warning sign on
the wall about 5-10 meters away from the last bay which i only
noticed after I recieved the ticket. (Adress of area where this
took place is 22 sea road, Bournemouth)
If anybody could help me fight this ridiculous ticket that would
be a great help.

If you park on private land, depending on the size of the car
park there is a “consideration period” to allow you time to read
the signs and decide not to park. It’s likely in this case that
this is 5 minutes. So the driver will have parked for longer
than this, will have entered into a contract by reading the
signs and parking, and is now being invoiced for payment under
the contract. The invoice is to the registered keeper, not to
the driver, because they don’t know who the driver is unless you
tell them, but the Protections of Freedoms Act 2012 allows them
to transfer liability to the registered keeper as long as
specific requirements of the legislation are complied with.
If the signs were missing or unclear, an argument could be made
that a contract wasn’t entered into.
You should read
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/private-parking-tickets/read-this-first-private-parking-charges-forum-guide/<br
/>for two reasons:
- to understand how to post images here so that we can see the
Notice to Keeper and signage
- to understand to refer to the driver in the third person,
don’t use “I” for example.

If I've found the right place on Google maps I'd agree signage
is woefully lacking, one densely worded sign on a wall, no signs
on the entrances etc. So it really isn't clear it's private
land.
Need to see the PCN though, was it on the windscreen? Have you
had anything through the post (NTK.?). Which operator will
alsomake a difference in how this will play out.

Can you get photos of the signage, this is crucial.
