Havering, code 24, not parked within marked bay, St Mary's Lane
« on: »
Hi there, I was issued a council PCN on 3rd Jan for parking outside of the marked bay. At the time there were cones either side of the bay obstructing me from parking inside a bay but the bay I used was definitely available to park in. The traffic warden himself said to appeal. I did appeal, however, they upheld their decision siting that the regulations are clearly shown and that I can either pay £90 (having unknowingly waived my right for a reduced amount when I appealed) or wait to make a formal representation of refer the case to London Tribunals.
I returned to the street where I was fined and there are no notices stating I have to park within the marked bays.
Please can I have advice on best next steps?

The photo shows very worn bay markings. Can you post a GSV link to the exact location, please. Havering have now made a rod for their own back, because by not re-offering the discount, (against the statutory guidance BTW), it is now a total no-brainer to take them all the way to London Tribunals. This means they have the PITA of preparing an evidence pack and also must pay the adjudication fee.
So wait for the NtO. This is sent to the name and address on the V5C Registration Certificate, so is this you or not ?

I'd say the cones are there to segment a permitted parking place not worn markings.

Any idea why the cones were there?

Some friendly adjudicators have found lack of instruction to park in marked bays is good enough to allow appeals.

Havering would also have to produce a traffic order and can fall down on that.

Absolutely no point in coughing-up as the penalty remains the same at London Tribunals, so make them do at least some work for their money, and if you win they get no money but have had to spend it. What's not to like !

My advice is don't pay-up now and join the Mugged Club !
