Hi,

Just wondering whether there is any chance to not pay this.
PCN late (18:22) on Saturday.
Heavy rain. Poor conditions.
Vehicle was parked there for couple hours and then left.
Must have been one of these motorcycle officers.

Contravention Code16eContraventionParked in a permit space or zone without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying a valid physical permit where required - car club bay.

Driver didn't notice any boards or markings just wondering what are your thoughts on this?
14 days from Saturday to decide whether to challenge these lovely people in Camden.

Pictures show car club bay.
Heavy rain and 3 year old screaming was enough for the driver to not notice this.

Would be great to hear your thoughts.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for reply.

Well looking at the google maps before 2024 there was a sign controlled zone, but its note there currently.
I went there again to see what happened and took a photo in a day light.
There are no other signs, except for a 'one way only' as one enters the street.
There is a very small placket on the wall which I haven't seen on the day, attached.

But nothing else.


Which sign do yo refer to please: 'The sign indicates No Waiting (aka Parking) beyond the sign except for permit holds with codes on the sign.'

Thank you

Sorry, I forgot to put in the GSV link in my last post ! As the Germans say, tut mir leid !

I found that there was a zone sign at the entrance to Broadfield Lane in 2024 : -

here it is untwisted round in 2022 : -

However that sign has disappeared in the latest GSV view of Sep 2025 : -

This then begs the question, "is the zone still there, but the sign is missing?" If it is, and there should be a sign there, then you have a clear point to make in your representations.

The picture taken by the CEO looks like it's of a larger sign than the repeater taken by the OP.

Camden's CPZ map says this road is in the CA-N Camden Square zone so maybe the OP's sign is from a discontinued zone and shouldn't be there.

But a signed bay is what it is regardless of zone and HCA and I agree it has requirements for a club car bay but the CEO's pic we can't make out.

Traffic order map below says CC-01 car club if that's the right bay:

Hi,

Thank you all for replies.

I couldn't see any other signs, definitely not something like these mentioned in the chat above. (attached below)
Bay marked on the drawing above is spot on. Green space in front was taken.
Really dodgy weather on that day and dark alley didn't help.
I'll try double check this, my family lives near by, but I do not have a permit for this zone.
Being there again the other day I couldn't find any other signs esxcept the ones posted already.
Hope this answers all the questions raised.

Definitely none of the below, if that is what you're asking

Hi,

There are no other signs.
I went there again. As you enter the road you can see only that it's a one way street.
Then on the wall is the EM-L(see below), which I've posted earlier.
No other signs.

EM-L on the wall, high up. Also visible as shining sign on the warden photos, high up on the left.
Its a small plate at high level.

And that is it.
As my 14 day grace period is coming to an end. Do you think I should challenge this?

Thank you.
