OT Parking Tickets

[SOXY BOY]

Re: OT Parking Tickets

My wife had a ticket for parking in a resident zone in the centre of Barry. I appealed as the lines weren’t painted clearly but lost it. It went to somebody in North Wales and it was the quickest response I’ve ever had from a council department. I can’t see that they could have looked at the lack of markings so quickly. I paid the reduced rate in the end.

Re: OT Parking Tickets

thanks, and yes seems to be the case. Just seems really wrong, anyone would think they're going out of their way to be able to give more tickets. In the exchanges I also found out that they'd given out 28 other fines for the same bit of road in the previous 14 days which seems loads.

Will pay up and go to porthcawl next time!

Is this the entrance to the estate on Barry Island (Adar Y Mor)? If so, then you're bang to rights, sorry.

Agreed, many enforcement areas/strategies seem to be counter-productive, as I'm sure many of the other 28 will feel the same as you and take their business and hard-earned elsewhere! It's a shame

Re: OT Parking Tickets

it was redbrink crescent, looking at google maps it's near to adar y mor
the more i look at the layout that the kind sharks sorry I mean council have sent me, the more it seems that yes i'm bang to rights as in "they got me" but as far as fair and reasonable is concerned i think far from it. i didn't even park outside anyone's house (as i know the frustration of that from my own house)

yeah it's the north wales cartel that won't listen to reason with mine too unfortunately. They must make a killing

That's a bit different. Adar Y Mor is the road as you enter a particular housing estate and is a Cul de Sac - so you wouldn't have much of an argument saying you didn't see any signs etc. as there two large ones as you enter the street. I used to park there sometimes before the new parking enforcement started in the summer.

Now I just use the paid car parking where the old Butlins camp used to be (when the free bays are full elsewhere).

Funnily enough I think this is the estate where I did see signs, really obvious ones, which made me feel comfortable that where i did park was unrestricted!

Re: OT Parking Tickets

pay it and get the reduced rate

Yes pay sharpish, I know someone who just ignored a parking fine and it ended up with bailiffs and costing him over £900!
