Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hey ,

first timer on ftla so just wanted to get advice with my first PCN. I,ve been parked in front of my drive since 1st December (of course not all day due to work etc.) no issues , just seen today a pcn on windscreen for issues yesterday 13/12 for contravention 62.

Need any advice on in intially the grounds of the pcn and appealing. I totally understand why but I just find it so strange lived here nearly 20 years no one has ever got a ticket there , everyone parks the same way all down the road and I’ve never seen a ticket for. I’ve attached the link to the pcn and the google maps link for clarity.

Appreciate the council do not care about the above just wanted to to get intially advice and what to do to appeal (if valid ). Again love here for years not blocking the pathway you can even see in the photos the parking officer took ,my neighbours park exactly how I am and that’s the same all down the street. No signs on our road either.

Thanks

Carriageway has double yellows all the way done the road, can’t be seen in photos as it does stop on the section where I’m parked also a bus lane shortly ahead.

I do remember maybe 10+ years ago these exact spots where I was parked used to have marked white parking bays on the pavement. But never had signage such as permits or time plates.

I guess that weakens my case further if not completely , will await your thoughts.

Also if there were bays there ask for the traffic order details/map as it's not online.

Draft something and post here.
