PCN received from council for parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath (642)

Hi all, me again! got tickets coming out of my backside

Just wanted your advice



Received a parking ticket in this location but it's part of a road - is there any grounds to appeal this?

Post the PCN with no redactions.

Please see attached

Wanted to add that I was dropping child off to school and I am a disabled person and there was no other parking on that road available. I had 2 options... wait for a parking spot to become available and risk child being late or find parking at the start of the road which would have been too far for me to walk given my disability also risking child getting late

Sorry, but we need your registration number of the vehicle. Without it we can't see the council photos. You might also post a GSV link and tell us exactly where you parked.

Sorry to be a PITA, but getting all the ducks in a row is key to successful appeals.

No, I really do appreciate the help - In my initial post I did include a GSV link to the exact spot.

Let me know if you can't see it?

Thanks

Yes, saw that, but where was the car parked exactly ? This is very important.

No worries at all - attached again as requested.

OK, so the council photos show you were parked in what seems to be the driveway/access point for premises, and not on the carriageway which is marked by the grey paving line and the double-yellow lines. So it seems the contravention is made out. Parking off-carriagway has been an offence in London since the 70s, and needs no signs or lines.

HOwever, a look at the latest GSV view, shows this is carriageway with double-yellow lines going all round the kerb edge and seems to be there for vehicles needing to turn round. If this is so, it may well be that what is there now is still carriageway, so worth submitting representations on those lines. Others may comment, so wait a bit, but don't miss the pay or appeal deadline on the PCN.

Yes it definitely is used for vehicles to turn around.

Thanks I'll wait for more assistance

The council pics don't show the context is my feeling.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. Apologies but I don't understand whether it means it's worth appealing and on what grounds?

Appreciate any guidance

Submit reps stating the contravention did not occur, and that where you parked is carriageway and enclose a copy of the GSV 2022 view. State that this isn't a driveway into premises as can be see by the fence only having a pedestrian gate. The GSV view clearl shows that this was a turning point for vehicles, and continues in that role, despite the new paving. In addition, the pedestrian entrance to the premises is also seen in GSV 2022 view.

Thanks for the reply


Do you mind elaborating a little on the below as I don't understand it


"State that this isn't a driveway into premises as can be see by the fence only having a pedestrian gate"

Hi

Please do let me know and I'll update the reps I'm drafting?
