Hi all

On 13/04/26 I was given a £50 PCN by Wokingham Council parked on 30min White-lines Parking bay

Contr: "24 Not parked correctly within the markings of the bay or space"

I basically parked Next to a bay in a shaded (diagnal white lines) area as the main part was full, however the outside was dotted perimiter not solid

PCN Ticket :- CW02847879
Loc: Google Maps Link






Appreciate any advice if i have any appeal grounds

Thanks,

If one parked 100m from the nearest parking place, would this constitute 'Not parked correctly....bay or space'?

IMO, no.

Which begs the question: when is a vehicle sufficiently proximate to a parking place that despite no part of the car being within the parking place the contravention is established?

IMO, if no part of a car is within a parking place (as shown in the council's photos), then IMO the contravention can be disputed(if not within a car park which is regulated by different rules).

Wait for others.

Last day of 'risk-free' 14-day period is 26th.
