The eternal problem of parking tickets on removal jobs

Moving home in London is never easy but there is almost always one certainty – that you will get a parking ticket.  Often these are issued even when the van in question has been given dispensation to park.  As everyone knows it is often a case of the traffic warden trying to reach his quota regardless of the contravention.

One would like to think that the traffic warden would see a removal van, with the company logo emblazened across it’s sides, and the removal men obviously loading and unloading, and leave them alone to get on with the job in hand.  Very often this is not the case, the ticket is slapped on, and no amount of reasoning or cajoling works.

We make a point of appealing against every ticket issued and our success rate is phenomenal.  We get off at least 8 out 10 tickets and even if the first appeal is unsuccessful, we appeal again.  A carefully worded, polite letter appealing to their sense of reason, even if the stated contravention did occur, is a very good tool.

We are fiercly protective of our customers and know that a £60 parking fine can be that final straw that breaks the camels back.

Join the fight and let’s challenge every ticket until eventually they capitulate.  Everyone needs to move home and it should be their basic right to have a removal van parked outside the front door at no additional cost.
