Parking ticket - photo doesn't show reg

[PHlL]

I posted this in bike banter about a month ago but that was more just general do you agree with it or not.

Council have just sent me this photo which does not show the registration. I remember seeing the Countdown with Joe appealing the ticket and it didn't show enough they didn't enforce.

Surely without a registration they can't enforce this?

Rightly or wrongly, the bike wasn't in the way as is in little triangle off the road not causing any harm to anyone so don't see why there double yellow's, but that's by the by.

The women said that's the only photo they have. I was only there for about 2 minutes and the guy was writing a ticket so I just got on and rode off so don't think he had time to do everything.

It's taken about a month to get here as they sent the parking ticket to the registered keeper which is a lease company, in turn to my company, in turn to me.

So this is literally all I've got.

Are you telling us that this isn't a picture of your bike and you were nowhere near the location at the time indicated and it's all a big mistake by them? If that is what you're saying, will you be prepared to use the same story in court?

I obviously wouldn't let it go that far as I'm almost certain that may have been me.

But surely there's no harm in emailing an informal appeal to say something along the lines of that doesn't show that is my bike and I cannot recall being parked there. If they turn around and say don't care, pay up, I will.

Simply asking if anyone might know if they'd enforce if you pushed them over it due to lack of evidence.
