Parking Fine Refunds

The number of fines issued for parking and moving traffic contraventions has escalated out of control to produce a nice little stealth tax of over £1 billion a year.

Councils in pursuit of these rich pickings have become reckless and cavalier in their enforcement and many have shown complete disregard for the law.

Now, in support of this position, the Department for Transport (BBC 29th May 2008) stated that councils should seriously consider refunding motorists wrongly fined.

Parking Appeals.co.uk is leading the way in the fight for refunds for motorists across the country.

With this in mind we have launched a petition which you can sign and pass on to friends and colleagues to sign.

We will then be able to keep everyone who signs fully informed of our successful restitution cases and show how they too can begin the process of getting their money back.

This petition is to the Prime Minister.

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ensure that all local authorities (including Transport for London) refund to motorists all fines that have been issued unlawfully (whether from non-compliant paperwork or unlawful signs and lines) for either parking or moving traffic contraventions.

We further insist that any surplus ‘unlawfully derived income’ should be given to charity (after all efforts to trace the motorist have been exhausted).

Any ‘unjustly enriched’ councils refusing to refund must be investigated.

70	Gary Seymour	This charade must stop. Hard-hit motorists are paying millions in unfair fines where there is no justification for it, and ALL motorists who have suffered should be repaid.
71	Barry Moss	Lines and signs in most boroughs are wrong therefore unenforceable, councils should now issue restitution plus interest to all motorists who have been unjustly fined

79	Anonymous	With the average ticket being ÂŁ60 fine (about 10 times the minimum wages), it is obviously a big source of revenue for councils and government. No wonder refunds are not on the cards.
