Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hampshire county council
Code 01 - restricted street during prescribed hours
Salisbury Road

My grandparents were visiting for the day, my nan has severe dementia and is registered blind (obviously is the passenger). I gave them my only space I have at my flats and parked on the road as they arrived sooner than expected I left it there for no longer than 30 mins. I was not blocking any entrances, on a bend or in a dangerous spot at all I just was one extra car parked on the front of a 3 other cars (these were not on the double yellows). People park where I park ALL the time as it isn't in the way of anything (obviously I appreciate the rule for double yellows exist regardless of opinion). Just seems ironic now its summer and they can make some money I am the one who gets the ticket right outside my home so I can help the one time  nan is visiting...

Any advice to appeal this would be greatly appreciated.

So, what was your plan if you had a single(off-street?) parking place and two vehicles for the day? GSV shows plenty of unrestricted areas on Salisbury and Bruyn, was this the plan?

As any defence would probably be limited to mitigation, you need to present a compelling argument with all bases covered e.g. how did you know they were arriving early .. given your Nan's condition it's unlikely that she knocked on your door or that the driver left her...

You give us the full details and we'll try and put together a compelling argument as a minimum....

..not forgetting the other apparent occupier of your flat!

GSV is fine. SO just how far were you into the yellow lines  Were the wheels on them ?

Hi

The front wheels were in the DYL yes. I’d say half the car was the back wheels weren’t.

OK, so the PCN was correctly served by the CEO. If it had been just your front bumper over the DYL, there would be a de minimis argument
