Last week I received a parking ticket. The fine came through the post.
A photo of my car was taken by the CCTV camera. It shows my car parked on double yellow lines.
As soon as I saw the fine I said to myself that the ticket was illegal.
Yesterday, I Google for CCTV parking fine and in no time, I had a story.
Rachel Johnson, from Wirral received a parking fine like the one I had received.
She was parked on double yellow lines in New Brighton and the council used the CCTV photo and presented Rachel with a fine.
She took the Wirral Council to court and Rachel won the case.
Who knows how many other innocent drivers had been sent a parking fine using CCTV camera in our Borough.
By the way I was parked in Oakfield Road. I intend to fight the case. Could you make the people aware of this offence by the council?
