Hello all,

I've been served this PCN on my windshield for Code 24: "Not parked correctly within the markings of the bay or space"

From my understanding, which may be horribly flawed, I thought that in a two-wheels up parking space like this, those mounting the kerb need to remain within the marked bay and not overhang on to the footpath.

However, because this road isn't a controlled parking zone, i.e. there is no parking restriction otherwise on the road, shouldn't this mean that parking on the road is valid?

Here is the TMO: "Consolidation Order 2018 No. 110 and 2018 No. 111"

My defence may be undermined by me still existing within the "projected" boundaries of the parking space, as designated on this map below...



while also not fitting neatly within it...


Is this worth contesting? Havering include this unreasonably effective line that a discount is not re-offered if a challenge is unsuccessful: "If you are contesting the penalty, you will not be able to pay the discounted charge if your challenge is unsuccessful. This does not affect your statutory right to make a representation."

This is the same location as my other thread  so I would be especially keen to find a flaw if one exists

PCN:

+1.

OP, you and stamfordman are correct. The CEO is, shall we say, ill informed.

1. There is no designated parking place outside whose markings one could park;
2. Parking on the footway is OPTIONAL.

You'll no doubt be OK just with getting the PCN cancelled.

I would raise a stink. This is thorough incompetence which brings the council into disrepute.

Just bouncing the point around and looking to reassure you. We can decide how to formulate your reps later.
