Parked in a "special enforcement" area adjacent to the footway: Code 27
« on: »
Bexley PCN Number: XL2635676A

Ran to collect my iPad from a friend for 6-7 minutes from the block of flats behind...only to get this.

This is the first time I got penalised for this...no signs (apart from "BEWARE OF DOG" and no parking in front of the gates...which I clearly wasn't), no yellow, red or white lines...nothing, to get a £70-£140 charge for this feels criminal.

Advice?

Post the PCN.

What is the VRM - the PCN number is useless alone.

The rear of your car is a bit over what looks like a longish historical dropped footway and only by a small gate whereas a large gate is further along.

I'd say this is challengeable.

Are those gates in use.

Those gates (both of them) were closed when I arrived, and when I returned.

My car is not close to obstructing the main gate, where a vehicle can come in or out, but the small gate where pedestrians can enter...MORE than enough space for them to go through it, especially a wheelchair.

I can see from Maps it's a recent development with a new dropped footway as the most recent view shows building work. 

The contravention concerns access across the footway from the carriageway and can only be for three things - pedestrian crossing, vehicle access, cycle track. I'd say that small part where you were is none of these and the slight overhang is trivial (the sloping kerbstone doesn't count).

Can you get a picture of the kerb and gate taken from the carriageway - ie the first of the pics I posted but without a car.
