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 !

    • Sorry, posted as I thought it may be a Burmese cat I know who lives in that area, but I just checked with the owner and that cat is safely at home. Hope this one gets home safely ❤️
    • I will second Victoria. Usually fairly empty during the day. I don't think Petittou has Wi-Fi, possibly to avoid people with laptops hogging tables.
    • Why do you say "that hasn't and won't happen"? - It has not happened and I do not believe it will. Why do you not ask for a key, if you would "love this task"?  I have requested a key but have not had any reply to my email. Who would you suggest I ask? She still works locally. If you don't know her, I can ask her how you can get a key - Please do. Thanks. There is no reason why the noticeboard should only contain councillors' details (although surely it is important that those are publicised locally?) Why do you say it will contain nothing more? Because it does not contain anything more - see noticeboard (has been there quite a few months now!). Do you know why the notice board has been removed from outside ED station? No sadly I don't - poss during pavement works?
    • We have no water in Nutbrook Street. Has anyone got a problem?
