PLEASE HELP! - CPM - obstructive parking - residential area
DIR By: alexB

---------------------------------------------------------
I received a PCN for parking according to CPM in an obstructive
way but all residents park there when there is bays available.
They enforced this for about a month and are no longer
enforcing. I appealed base on that the bay marking are fainted
and there are no lines or signs to say no parking there and that
all residents have always parked there. But this was rejected
with “Whilst we note the comments and reason for appeal, as per
our photographic evidence, the vehicle was parked in
contravention of the advertised terms and conditions. As the
vehicle was parked in an area where no parking is allowed, we
can confirm that this PCN has been issued correctly.”
Please view PCN on CPM pay charge website: ref: 50771068 and
VRN: GY11OFG
Please advise

What did your appeal say and, in particular, did you identify
the driver in it?

This was my appeal: “I am writing to formally appeal against the
above Parking Charge Notice issued to my vehicle (registration:
GY11OFG) on 05/08/2025 at Besson Street & Lanchester Way, London
SE14 5AE. I request that this PCN be cancelled on the following
grounds: 1. Valid Permit Holder I am a resident and a valid
permit holder for this location. My permit entitles me to park
within the estate, and therefore the charge is incorrectly
issued. 2. No Clear Signage There is no clear signage at the
location which prohibits parking where my vehicle was stationed.
The signs in the area are inadequate, ambiguous, and fail to
meet the requirements set out in the British Parking
Association�s Code of Practice regarding visibility and
clarity. 3. Road Markings Are Poorly Maintained The bays in this
area are extremely poorly marked, making it unclear where
parking is and isn�t permitted. Additionally, the double
yellow lines end at the location where I parked, which
reasonably indicates that parking is allowed beyond that point.
4. Non-compliance by Parking Warden The operative issuing the
ticket was not in proper uniform or wearing visible
identification at the time of issue, contrary to the terms and
conditions of your own enforcement procedures. This calls into
question the validity of the PCN itself. In light of the above,
the charge is not valid and must be cancelled immediately.”
I didn’t identify the driver

All the Keeper should ever do is refer to the driver int he
third person. All you had to say was "...at the location where
the driver parked, which..."
Never mind. As a resident, what precisely does your
lease/tenancy agreement say about parking? What it doesn't say
is equally important.
In the vast majority of these residential cases, the operator
has ni standing to issue PCNs, but until you confirm exactly
what your lease says, we cannot advise further.

I haven’t got access to that as I’m short term lease.
I guess I will have to pay.

I'm unsure why being on a short term lease would mean you don't
have access to the contents of your lease documents? A short
term lease is still a lease...

That's your choice, personally I wouldn't. try to get a copy of
your short-term lease. Others will advise you to eventully get a
POPLA number for an appeal there. At that stage they too will
turn down your appeal. then follows a series of threatograms
from debt collectors who will ry to persuade you to pay. This
will last many months, but is worth waiting. IF the case ever
gets to county court, they usually give up.
