An interesting development has occurred relating to the parking ticket (PCN) I acquired during the #daftarrest incident on the 8th June in Carmarthen.
Here is my challenge (it was the second challenge);
"Please refer to my previous challenge dated 20th June 2011. As it has now been admitted by Dyfed Powys Police that they acted on false information given to them by Carmarthenshire County Council on 8th June 2011 which resulted in my unlawful detention I am therefore not guilty of the parking offence. It was due to circumstances beyond my control that I was unable to renew my ticket"
And here is the acceptance, recieved today, from Carmarthenshire County Council;
Well well. I shall leave you draw you own conclusions on this one...

A small celebratory Ribena is in order!
well done, Jacqui: some official recognition, anyway!
But don't drive after too many Riberna's
Wehey!
Good for you!
They obviously didn't want that to have to explain that one in front of the adjudicator.
Although I no longer live locally, I have on 3 ocassions been given parking tickets. All 3 I successfully appealed. It seems many councils do not want the hassle of checking the details, and will wait until the 27th day since the appeal, and then just cancel the ticket, usually with a note along the lines of it being a gesture of goodwill. In Sutton, when you put in the appeal, you then get contacted asking you to pay the fine anyway incase you dont win, or forget to pay. When you get one of these letters saying that they are cancelling the ticket, in small print, it says if you have paid the fine, that you now have to write in to request a refund, which will arrive within 28 days. So effectively a 56 day interest free loan of £40, and how many people forget that they have paid or lose the receipt, so dont get their money back ?
