Contravention: Parked wholly or partly in a suspended bay or space, Cordelia street
Hello
A week a go (Sunday) I parked my car in Cordelia street. It's residential parking. The bay area I parked had a building next to it where construction works were happening. I normally don't use my car during the week but checked on it Monday and Tuesday and it was ok and there was no signs to say that the parking on the street or that particular area was suspended. The first parking ticket I got was on 12.09.2024. It was perplexing for me because the fine was given at 8.42pm. The road traffic enforcement on that road is normally between 8.30am to 5.30pm. I can't help but feel that is when they put the parking suspension sign as subsequent car fines I received was on 13.09.024 and 14.09.24 and both were in the morning.
I don't know if I could appeal lack of advance warning but I was wondering if I could appeal the fact that the parking charge notice was not signed or the fact that the time of issue was outside of their working hours? The parking suspension states do not park there at all times but it would be harsh to put up the sign on the same day and then start fining people.
