Dear Mr Herron
RE: Car Parking Ticket 96256134 – Stadium Car park (OFF)
Thank you for your letter dates 24th January 2005 I apologise for the delay in replying, however I simply re-iterate the content of Miss Buchan’s letter to you dated 13th January 2005.
Putting matters quite simply to you, you parked in a parking space that required payment for use of the space, you failed to purchase a ticket and pay the charge and therefore you were issued a ticket for not having a valid ticket on display.
You have previously been advised as to the legal position surrounding the issue of the ticket and I do not wish to repeat the content of that information. I would point out to you that under s35A of the Road Traffic Regulation act 1984 a person shall be guilty of an offence in the event of any contravention off, or non compliance with a provision of an order made under s35 (1) by the Local Authority.
In relation to your comments concerning the issue of a fair trial, be rest assured that we would not have been in apposition to prosecute you for this offence without issuing a summons against you at the Magistrates Court and subsequently serving this upon you so that you are given an adequate opportunity to defend yourself should you so wish. We have not convicted you of any offence and neither have we suggested this at any point. We do believe that you are guilty of an offence, as highlighted above, and we will in due course be placing this matter before a Magistrates Court.
Finally, it has come to my attention that you have never been sent a notice under s108 Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 following the information provided by the registered keeper of vehicle R24PJR. The registered keeper has advised that you were the driver of the vehicle at the time the ticket was issued to the vehicle, in those circumstances I now require you to complete the s108 notice attached and return it to this office within 7 days of receipt of the same.
I must advise you that a failure with this notice is an offence, which could result in legal action being taken.
I Look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely
