Basically I’m away in Cornwall and I had a pcn for parking on the grass in a pay and display car park but it was only the rear wheel that was on the edge of the grass so I’m angry about it, anyway it seems to be run by a private company acting for Cornwall council so if I ignored it can they still prosecute as I’m not sure that it’s private land?
Did you take photos, bb?

Was the notice a council one or a parking company? If its the council you can lodge an appeal with the adjudicator. Doesn’t matter if it was private land or not.

A.S.Parking so it appears to be a private firm.
First thing to do is look on Pepipoo/ Google and find out if the parking company is known to be litigious. If not then you can safely ignore it. If they are then you have a harder job on your hands.
A wheel…
On the grass will be viewed as not parking within the specified area.
Follow Harry’s advice and look it up on Pepioo.

Hi bald bloke
You could go down this route boevat.org.uk/ i have used this method and successfully had a PCN cancelled from Bristol City Council in Northampton Traffic Court and i have all the paper work to prove it.
But you have to have the cajones to see it right through to the end, and understand what you are doing, read the website and read it again.
But basically a PCN is a parking CHARGE notice - not a fine!!
For every Notice of levy or charge you receive, you have the right to require an invoice, this was enshrined in the Bills of Exchange Act in 1882
Companies are not obliged to offer you a properly formatted invoice in the first instance, but once you formally require one they must either comply or cancel their demands immediately.
Read the website

Either way, I wouldn’t ignore it. I think AS Parking are with the parasites of the IPC. This means you will never win an appeal however, appeal to the company and then ignore everything else except REAL court papers.
I’m currently against another parasite and they haven’t even acknowledged the appeal.
Good luck.
Hard to imagine a magistrate/judge/whatever it is siding with them after seeing that picture, even if it did go to court. They can’t take every case to court and one would think they would only take the strongest cases that far, if any. I would be embarrassed if I was them turning up to court to argue the toss over that.

Most cases end up with court papers when 1 of a few things happen.
- The keeper folds and pays up
- A strong defence is submitted and the PPC runs away, knowing it’s not gonna be an easy win.
- Both get to court and the keeper/driver points out various things (like not being on the grass) and walks away with their costs paid
- Homework hasn’t been done by the keeper/driver and they hand an easy win to the PPC.
PPC’s use contractor solicitors so can be all over the country on the same day. This is done at a loss but it makes their figures look better.
