Islington, Code 85 - Parked without a valid permit, Masefield Islington
« on: »
Good morning,

I am a resident in Islington and pay for a resident’s parking permit.
There are four marked bays in the car park and are almost always empty.
I was allocated Bay 4 however contractors (including the council) often park there and the estate bins are sometimes left in that bay when the truck has been. This was the case on the day of my PCN, so parked in the adjacent bay.

I have attached a copy of the PCN and copies of the signs relating to the car park.

I have yet to respond to the council.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you complied with the terms of the car park. It doesn't say park only in allocated bays.

What does the paperwork for your permit say?

The pics don't show a bay 4 with anything in it but another bay seem to be occupied. Do you know who has bay 3 as they may have called the council.

Thanks for your reply. I can’t find the letter the permit came with but the visitors permit we got at the same time states ‘your bay holders visitor permit is valid for any vehicle to park in the parking space number printed on the permit’.

And yes when I got home from work, number 4 was empty again and I moved my car.
I don’t know who has number 3 but in the last year I haven’t seen anyone park in it, it’s always empty.

See if you can get a pic of your bay used by the council but presumably that's mostly when you're not there?

I would challenge on the grounds tat it was the council that deprived you of use of the space and that bay 3 is not currently in use and it would be unreasonable to expect you to seek parking outside the estate.

You also met the signed terms of using the car park.

The off-street traffic order may not even specify an allocated space. I'll see if I can find it, but adjudicators do tend to side with what the terms on the permit say.
