I am fuming about the parking ticket I have just got on my car, I had a Hospital appointment and parked in the parking bay and put a ticket on the screen which read the time 17:36. I was locking my car and a traffic warden walked past me and my car. I finished at my appointment and returned to my car to find the warden had stuck a ticket on it, stating that from 17:50 until 1805 there was no ticket on display, WTF is all I can say, she must be completely blind not to have seen the ticket which was clearly on display. Anyone else experience this, and what's the best approach to this, pay the fine before disputing it or dispute it first? I really have no intention of paying this as I had a ticket on my car which I have as proof from 17:36 and her ticket states 17:50. I bloody hate wardens!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would suggest you appeal online asap. They put the ticket on hold. You need to scan your ticket and send them the picture, I think you may be able to attach evidence to the appeal. the online appeal is much easier than trusting the jokers at the parking office not to loose your letter. You get an automated email telling you they have received it and that its in the system.

They're absolute sods around the hospital! They recently changed the traffic flow of Bavent Rd, which was not made particularly obvious by Lambeth council. They had one of their little spy cars with a camera on the roof, and anyone entering from the wrong direction gets their car's photo taken, a ?100 fine and three points on their licence!


I don't think they're doing it legally either, as I thought they had to put up notices declaring that cameras were in use. The wardens are also giving cars tickets that are facing the wrong way. Theiving ********!

Are you sure you wasn't in a permit only box, this happened to me one day, a warden watched me park in the box put a ticket in the screen and when I returned there was a parking ticket, when I confronted the said warden it was in fact issued because I had parked in a permit box, which was not clearly posted..... although it was my error that time they are a bunch of tw*ts... hope you did park correctly and get it sorted..

Appeal ASAP!


I have appealed two parking tickets (not in this borough) online and had them both overturned.


Be as factual as possible, stating the time you parked, the amount you paid and when you left.


Also state if the parking ticket has any incorrect information then that may invalidate it. One parking ticket stated I was parked on a different road to where I had acutally parked and I assume that was why I was successful in my appeal, as otherwise I was at fault(!).


I didn't have to send any evidence on either occassion.


Good luck!

It sounds as though you did nothing wrong - if you appeal, it should be overturned. If you still have the ticket you bought, you should be fine. Even better if you have a photo of the ticket displayed in your window!


If the appeal is rejected, do not worry. They will give you a date for a hearing, but the council don't usually bother contesting it, so you win by default without even having to turn up.

Have you got a website address breadcrumb?

Absolutely appeal. What I hate is the blatent corruption (yes unaccoutable politically protected systems that operate to hurt people without solving real problems are corrupt) of the parking system. Totally 3rd world where faceless unaccaountable beaurocracy tries to trick you and goes for easy pickings ketting harder to catch problems continue unchecked. Guess who's in charge of this incompetent management of what should be legitimate, transparant "housekeeping"?

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
