Parkingeye - Goodmayes Hospital Sports ground
DIR By: LotusOne

Have received a Parking Charge Notice for parking on Goodmayes
Hospital Sports ground which I thought was a safe place to park
as there are no parking charge signs.
Parking Charge Notice attached along with some pics of the drive
where I parked.

The 'READ THIS FIRST' thread that I linked to above explains
what we need to see and why. We work on the basis of looking at
the whole case and advising accordingly. You'd be surprised how
often apparently trivial details provide a good avenue of
defence.

You don't have to, seeking advice from this site is not
mandatory. If you are concerned about sharing details that the
public could use to identify you (e.g. name and address), then
as per the 'READ THIS FIRST' guide, you can (and indeed should)
redact these.

That's fine then, the only things I have redacted are the items
which would identify me.

You have also redacted the following, which a member of the
public could not use to identify you:
- The entire back page of the notice (the contents of which
determines whether or not ParkingEye can hold you liable as the
registered keeper of the vehicle)
- Date of event
- Date issued
- Time of entry
- Time of exit

Back page of PCN now attached.
I cannot see how publishing the date & Time of the alledged
infringement is in any way relevent and that would identify me
to the parking company.

Thanks.
The date of the parking event and date of issue are one of the
things that can determine whether or not you are potentially
liable as the registered keeper under Schedule 4 of the
Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. In this case I can see that the
parking event took place on 13th May, so they're within the
relevant period.
Whilst you are wise to be cautious, I wouldn't worry about
identifying yourself to ParkingEye for 2 reasons. Firstly, they
already know who you are. Secondly, they issue roughly 2,000,000
parking charges every year (1 every 15 seconds or so) - they're
unlikely to be trawling these forums to try and catch out the
small few who come here for advice.
The signage you've shown us looks pretty shoddy and could form
the basis of a defence. If you're able to, it would be sensible
to get some more photos, showing the route the driver took to
reach that parking area, and any signage on the way (or lack
thereof!).
Outside of any appeal process, it's also always a good idea to
speak to the PALS department at the hospital, to see if they
will assist.

I don't know why we bother sometimes. The gullible tree is ripe
with low-hanging fruit, especially those wearing their tin-foil
hats, imagining that there is some dark room filled with hooded,
internet savvy yoofs, scouring for recipients of Parking Charge
Notices (PCNs) that are seeking advice on how to deal with
irregularities. What they imagine is going to happen, even if
they were identified, is beyond me.

OP, you either want advice or you don't. If you are so paranoid
about being identified as the recipient of a PCN, then just pay
it at the mugs discount rate and be done with it.

In this case PALS are not likely to help as was not visiting
Goodmayes Hospital but walking around the sports field and
associated woodland.
