I am just wondering if a Parking Fine is correct!
I have just received a "Fixed Charged Offence" from Cork City Council for parking in a valid parking space in a street off Oliver Plunkett Street on a Sunday before Christmas.
On the day in question we found a small printed notice - not a parking ticket - saying that a fine would be issued.
On Sundays Oliver Plunkett Street (OPS) is a pedestrianised street. The roads into OPS are blocked with bollards but the roads leaving OPS are not. When we saw a space on one of the side roads out of OPS we reversed up the street into the valid space.
The notice just received mentions that there was a sign on the information plate on the Traffis Sign saying that the Street was pedestrianised. This was not the case as we had looked after seeing other cars with the small printed notices on them.
Should I pay the 40 euro or argue my case?
