Please give us a GSV link to the location, telling us exactly where you parked.

The photos show double- yellow lines which need no signs, so I think you'd struggle on these as grounds for cancellation, but lets see GSV first.  Don't be in a rush to pay, because often appeal arguments based on grounds other than the contravention are found. Remember, the council have to obey the law (the legal enforcement process), just like you.

What a dump that street is !! If you could download the council photos, (if any), it might show the yellow lines even more faded and absent, although your own seem to show them clearly enough. GSV is 2019, so 6 years ago.

However, as I said, don't rush to pay yet; wait and see what the others say. If you submit some reps within the discount period they will re-offer the discount, and you get more time to save the money if it ends up having to be that way.

What yellow lines are actually under your car? Do you have a picture of them at all, or a picture that shows them?

The road is indeed a dump, it looked much better back in 2009.

Anyway, it is an adopted highway according to the council map:



Oddly enough there is no mention of this service road in the schedules to The Newham (Waiting and Loading Restriction) Order 2011, which is odd because the yellow lines were there in 2009, so you'd expect them to be in the consolidation order made in 2011. Great Eastern Road on the other hand comes up in both Schedule 2 and part 2 of Schedule 1.

I'll have to ask the council if there is a separate order for this particular service road, but I have a sneaking suspicion there is no traffic order, we've had quite a few such cases recently.

Thank you for all the help I really appreciate it. If the roads not on the service schedule would that be grounds for appeal?

If the road isn't mentioned in any traffic order at all, then there are no waiting restrictions and everybody is allowed to park there for as long as they want. The yellow paint has no legal effect if there is no underlying traffic order.

However to know for sure whether an order exists, you'll have to wait for the council to reply to my information request.

In the meantime here's a holding representation you can make:

Dear London Borough of Newham,

When I parked at this location the yellow line markings appeared so broken and faded that I understood this to be a former restriction that was no longer in force. While I accept yellow lines do not need to be in pristine condition, these particular lines are so broken and faded that they appear to relate to a restriction that has long since ceased to have effect.

I therefore contend that the alleged contravention did not occur.

The council will reject this, but at least it will buy us some time. Send the representation online and make sure to keep a screenshot of the confirmation page.

Here are:

The Newham (Waiting and Loading Restriction) Order 2011
The Newham (Waiting and Loading Restriction) (Amendment No. 138) Order 2018

There is an implicit admission that not all of Service Route No. 1 is a public highway.
