Being given parking tickets even though I have a valid parking permit

Has anyone else had a problem with Southwark Council repeatedly ticketing their car despite the fact that they have a valid parking permit? This has happened to me numerous times now and each time I have to appeal for each ticket and explain that I do in fact have a virtual permit which is all there on the system to see. It's hugely frustrating and such a waste of time and energy..rant over!

Next time I wouldn't even bother respond.... I'm not sure if that would cause them to clamp your car.

I would give them the opportunity to send round bailliffs or a court summons & then produce evidence.


They will look stupid especially if you've been through this numerous times!

The approach suggested by sweet girl may sound good but not only might they tow your car and take it to a pound in N8 looking at the Council website there will be extra fees to pay of ?200 plus ?40 a day and I think you have to pay to get the car back and then challenge for a refund.


frustrating as it is to have to query every ticket have a reply ready so all you need to do is copy and paste and change the date the ticket was given for each ticket.


Send a separate letter, quoting your vehicle registration and permit number asking them to cancel, and confirm, any tickets issued to your vehicle and the expiry date of the virtual permit.

If you keep getting tickets and keep having to appeal, perhaps try small claims court for wasting your time and to compensate the hours (if you logged them) spent dealing with this repeating mess.

You could also file for harassment !

      if anyone believes Reform is a party they can trust then they really don't need to be insulted by me - they are doing all the damage themselves If people don't like the state the country is in they should question why Farage fought for Brexit and why it continues to damage the country so much. He and you will splutter it wasn't done properly but if you can't see the contradictions I can't help you

      It's not incredibly difficult to understand that people vote Reform because they don't want the Tories back and they don't like Labour and they don't like the state the country is in. It hardly makes them "criminally negligent" - in fact, Sepiroth,  you can just stop insulting people just because you don't like what they have to say - it doesn't really add to your credibility. While Sep says "What the country needs is a serious, mature electorate", what the country REALLY needs is a party that we can trust - and that we do not have.  There is no point at all in having a serious and mature electorate if we don't have a serious and mature party to get vote for.

      No mow May

      mine's the same - use shears, then mow, but I only do a part of the lawn - the rest is covered in daisies, violets and other flowers, so I leave it. I have to be very careful though - we have slow worms
