       Hounslow, code 73u parked without payment, Hanworth Airparks Lei
       sure Centre

       Good day all
       This relates to a PCN I received for parking in the car park for
       this swimming pool, whilst using their facilities.
       The car park offers 2 hours free parking, and to qualify for
       this you must register your vehicle via the paybyphone app. On
       this particular day I had forgotten to do so.
       I have spoken with the staff at the leisure centre, they have
       informed me they cannot help as they have no authority to
       intervene.
       Any advice on how I might navigate this? I have a record of
       attendance for a swimming lesson on that day, but no evidence of
       me registering my vehicle (as I did not!)
       PCN below

       You can try two points:
       No parking charge could be paid as you were in the free 2 hours
       (if true) so the contravention did not occur. Would help if you
       have proof of less than 2 hours there.
       Ask for discretion owing to a rare oversight given you are a
       regular user of the leisure centre.
       I don't think you can claim the terms weren't clear although the
       CEO didn't include a pic of the entry sign if that's still
       there.
