I am a philanthropist helping people with mental issues and depression. I had arranged to meet with a young person who was going through mental issues and he needed to talk and to have observed lock down rules we had arranged to meet at Costa, Dagenham East. On the 20th Nov, I receivd a letter of fine which was only issued to me and not to the young person who had also parked his van right near me. I did take a note of the time and that we were not allowed to park more than 90 minutes -and- no return within an hour. I had parked for few minutes waiting and then just to check whether he was inside Costa and noticed he wasn't there, I then drove back as I thought he may not show up despite my reminder calls given his mental state. Just as I reached my drive, he called to say that he had reached in Costa for which I drove back to Costa and parked for under 90 minutes. The parking was logged from my first parking despite the fact I had drove back and right until my actual end time. And although my client and I had both parked at the same time and he even drove off after me, he wasnt issued any tickets. While, I am pleased he wasn't issued a fine as the nonsense cost of living and the brutality of parking and fines business has already taken its toll on people living in London, I equally am disappointed for the unfair and unjust fine issued by Civil Enforcement Ltd. People might hope that COVID19 may have made people better and kinder, but I think it has definitly made Parking Companies richer and even further brutal. The car park space on the day we had parked was half empty and neither had I blocked nor caused nuisance. Furthermore, I offer voluntary counselling having done my part as a caring human being and knowing people can not afford private services and in return getting penalised for it. It is heart breaking!
