How to Contest Lewisham Council PCN and Win
Property owners have the authority to charge for and regulate parking. Suppose you've obstructed a hospital entryway, for example. You'll have to pay up because you've breached the rules. Nonetheless, mistakes happen, whether it's a muddled sign, faulty technology, pushy personnel, or an honest oversight.
If you were slapped with an unjust ticket in a private parking lot in , do not pay the fine right away. These ostensibly imposed 'fines' are bills that are frequently unenforceable and can be overturned.
