Had to ditch car in a council permit holder's zone on way home last night and still can't move it down this hill. Do you know if that's a decent enough mitigating circumstance?

(I think not, might contact council now anyway).

Thanks. Unfortunately it's not big off snow, just really icy. Was almost a gonner last night. But will do so now anyway. Thanks.

Got some photos as it's snowed again. Council reckon I probably won't get a ticket. And if I do I'll probably be able to get it mitigated.

I live in Bath so the worst would be a strongly worded note, with decent grammar and spelling!

anyone got a "hawk eye" parking system near ? they sennd you a lovely letter with color photos of you in your car arriving and leaving, but they cant actualy "fine" you, its a worthless invoice basicly, so be aware of that one

but makes an amusing letter/photos to get for a laugh if you leave your car there for an hour insted of the 15 mins :D
