I have just had my appeal against a parking ticket rejected and have paid it because I have no wish to have the charge doubled, although I asked if I could still make a formal representation against it.
I was parked in Belmont, at the Seven Dials, Brighton, displaying a correctly scratched-out resident's visitor permit.
As this was only the second time I had used this type of permit, I had not written in my vehicle registration number.
In nearly 35 years of driving, this is my first parking ticket - I can't afford to park illegally.
Brighton and Hove City Council is over the top on parking fines.
