Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi all,

Posting on behalf of a family member who received a PCN from East Riding Council, despite as far as we can tell, doing nothing wrong.

The PCN itself states "Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours" issued at 12:32pm.
I have revisited the street and cannot see any parking signs regarding prescribed/prohibited hours.

Using Google street view, the car was parked pretty much exactly where the white car is on the photo below:

• It is/was on double yellow lines but said family member is disabled, visiting the podiatry clinic directly opposite that can be seen in the photo (usually parking is available in the town square behind but it is closed for building works).
• They put in their blue badge with the clock at 11:45am, the PCN was received less than 1 hour later at 12:32pm.
• There is a loading bay behind the double yellow lines but no prescribed hours just a "Goods vehicle loading only" sign

To find said place on the map, you can Google 21 Southgate, Hessle, England.

Thanks in advance for any responses here, the family member was under the assumption they could park here for up to 2 hours on double yellow lines with their blue badge should they need to (as in this instance).

Thanks,
Dan.

Using GSV, please tell us exactly where the car was parked. A link like this is preferable with text to say where the car was: -



To do this, look at black square top left of a GSV street view. Click on the three vertical dots, then select "Share or embed image" then follow the instructions on the box. You'll get the link into your Clipboard, from whence it can be pasted into your thread.

What are the PCN number and car VRM. Or check yourself for council pics. If not online, ask for them.
