Parking permit renewal

I just found two parking fines on my car because I have not renewed my parking permit. I have not received any email to let me know my permit was about to expire. I used to receive such an email, albeit two months in advance which was usually a case of forgetting it. Am I right in thinking that the Council is just finding ways to pocket extra parking fines?

Maybe you missed the emails? Maybe you should put a reminder in your diary or on your phone then you wouldn’t be caught out by their fiendish plan and have no need to make such daft accusations.

My permit expires mid-July and I received a letter a few weeks ago to remind me to renew.

I got a renewal letter this year. One year it didn't turn up and I was without a permit for over six months. I was reminded by the fine and ended up saving money!It is worth sending them an email. I doubt you will get both fines rescinded but they might get rid of one. And get a temporary permit straight away so you don't have any more issues.The system was combined with Richmond's just over a year ago. It could be a hangover from that and you should mention it. I am afraid you may be just beyond the period.Finally check you haven't accidentally told them not to contact you. Since the new system came in we now have the delights of GDPR to contend with!
