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 !

    • We have had Tony and team do a number of repairs and decorative work over the past year in our Victorian terrace in Peckham. Most recently, they painted the majority of our house while we were on holiday, where they spent 12 hour days over two weeks working non stop to complete plastering, walls & ceilings, and woodwork paint on custom joinery. Tony communicated throughout but kept the end result a surprise. We returned to the most beautiful house decor, with the whole place spotless too. I would have no hesitation in recommending TDR, the work is always to an extremely high standard, well priced and I always trust Tony and his work. We will use TDR again for further work in our house. 
    • It's quite normal with chain shops that have a large real estate portfolio who are in the proverbial. When the writing is on the wall they know exactly how much they can afford to pay to keep a site open and the landlord then has a choice:  accept the lower rent or find a new tenant. Finding a new tenant sometimes means not getting any rent from an insolvent company, paying to clear their stuff out and giving the new tenant a rent free period to fit out their shop and establish themselves. It can be expensive for the landlord to refuse a rent reduction. I think this landlord has probably landed on their feet here though, getting Tesco interested. 
    • When I used to go to the one in Woodwarde road I found them expensive but not exceptional- They kept suggesting I have an acid treatment on my toenails which have a tendancy to become ingrown-I think it was many hundreds of pounds (about £400 5 or so years ago) when I found my current Podiatrist (who teaches at The Royal college of Podiatrists) he told me that A: that treatment was'nt foolproof and the nail could grow back and B: that he really did'nt reccomend it in my case. I also did'nt like how the charges at Woodwarde rd just kept getting higher and varied depending on whom was treating me.
