Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi there, thanks again. What you say makes surely sense. My original point, though, was that where I parked is not a Highway verge, technically, as Ipswich Counsel itself define a verge as the area between the carriageway and the pavement (and so do all the other documents I have found online) - am I completely wrong here?

From the GSV photo. I would think the property line is the scrubby hedge and trees. Of course, you can take them all the way to the Traffic Penalties Tribunal, to test the matter. To do this, you must forego the discount. In addition, you would have to wait for the Notice to Owner, and submit reps again and be refused before you can register an appeal with the tribunal.

Are you the Owner and holding the V5C Registration Certificate for the vehicle, with name and address correct ?

The Ipswich document you refer to is from 2009 and isn't relevant.

The contravention you have is for the yellow lines, which cover the entire width of the road accessible to the public.

Some councils have traffic orders and signage that ban verge parking but they don't need this where there are yellow lines.

Such footway/verge parking has been banned in London since the 1970s but councils outside London are being given such powers (Scotland has enacted a ban now).

If you and others have been parking there for some years you can try legitimate expectation for a first PCN.

You have an NTO - you must pay or make representations to the council within deadline or you'll end up with a charge certificate and an extra £35.
