Parking fine in East Dulwich Estate

[Ashlar]

So having purchased a permit for the Q Zone, I got home late last night and there were no spaces outside so I drove into my estate and parked half in a bay and half out. This is normal parking in our estate since they built a block of flats in the upper car park and we have lots of displaced cars. I get downstairs this morning and there is a parking ticket on my car!!!! ?130 for ?causing an obstruction?.

I phoned Southwark Parking and they said I needed to speak to Estate Parking

I phoned Estate Parking and they put me on hold and transferred me to Parking Enforcement

Parking Enforcement told me I need to speak to Estate Parking!!!!

Whilst I fully accept I should not have been parked there, we have all been parking in this way, and worse, for as long as I?ve lived here, which is almost 14 years. There has been no communication about the new enforcement and there are no signs up to advise it is in place.

Does anyone have any experience of this? Were we notified and I didn?t get the letter, as with the CPZ details? Any advice would be appreciated
