       Re: Parking app claims "parking is currently free" and
       doesn't let me pay; I got a fine and they refuse to cancel it

       I cannot reconcile these elements of the decision with the OP's
       reps:(crossed with the preceding post)
       '..the council was willing to accept Mr ****'s factual account
       of what happened'.
       That account if I remember correctly was that the app informed
       the driver that payment was not required. I understand that this
       applied both before and after 8am.
       '.. Mr **** did not make a reasonable effort to use the
       alternative means of payment, as advised on the payment
       machine.'
       If the council accepted that the driver was informed that 'no
       payment was required' where does the requirement to pay come
       from, let alone how indicated on a payment machine?
       How could any adjudicator reasonably make these findings in the
       context of the appellant's undisputed evidence, or wasn't this
       evidence as clear as I think?

       The adjudicator appears to have taken the view that the
       requirement comes from the signage (and it was accepted that the
       signage required payment), and that having found that the app
       didn't work, the appellant should have attempted to pay by other
       means i.e. by calling the number provided.
