By some miracle I have never had a parking ticket before, so was looking for some advice if anyone has any?
I attended a University campus today to provide evidence at a ‘fitness to practice’ panel. It was all a bit more messy than normal, and I ended up 14 minutes late and returned back to car to find a ticket, £45 fine if paid in 14 days or £75. Private parking company working on behalf of the college, if that matters and was 14 minutes over a 4 hour stay.
So two questions;
– Is it worth appealing, given the nature of the meeting? Or is it just a case of 14 minutes late, suck it up.
– Does paying in the 14 day period invalidate any appeal as it seems it could be up to 28 days for this to be heard?
Thanks in advance.
