How can I find out if a road is private or not?

[Fast Bug]

As it says really, I've had a parking ticket from a private parking enforcement company. If it's a public road, it's not enforcable is it? But if it's a private road I have to cough up?

Thanks

Call the local highway authority, they sometimes charge for searches but if you can find someone who'll look it up for free as it usually (depending on the systems in place) a 5 minute job.

Can you link to the place via google maps?

People on here may recognise it and know....
