PCN Barking & Dagenham
« on: »
Hi, first time posting so please let me know if I miss information or do anything incorrectly.

I received a PCN from parking outside my parents house, have parked outside for many many years without issue and now received this. There are several parking bays marked out along the road, there is a single bay directly outside their house where I was parked, it is extremely worn (I will try to post photos). There is a requirement for permit holders, we use my mums disabled badge and display this as per Barking and Dagenham rules. This was displayed in the window of my car.
I was given the PCN for parking with one or more wheels on or over a footpath. we have ALWAYS and all residents park in these marked bays, so am extremely confused with regards to this, I appealed stating I was parked within the bay with disabled badge in view (they have shown this in evidence of contravention) but they declined stating we are not allowed to park with 2 wheels on footpath and are therefore upholding this. The only signage in the road is for permit holders only.

can anybody advise where I go from here with this, am I in the wrong? in which case family members will need to be advised not to park here in future as it seems regardless of disabled badge or permit then you are unable to park in this location.

Post your challenge and their rejection blanking only name and address.

There does look like bay lines are or were there - I'll check further.

This is their response.

I am not sure I have copies of my appeal as it was done on their website and not sure I get a copy sent to me and I stupidly did not take photos or screenshot it as I did it.

I have this confirmation of my appeal and this information.

I honestly thought it was a case of they were trying it on, I never at one point thought it wouldn't get cancelled.

B&D's traffic order map shows that you were likely in a parking bay.

They seem to have put in a controlled zone in 2021, and marked and signed some bays but not others and maybe changed their mind about where you were but the order is extant.

Given the state of the markings and the order I think you'll win this. They seem to think there is no bay there.

If parking for 3 hours or less best stay on the carriageway.

Thank you so much for your help with this, I have to wait until I receive it in the post now to appeal again but do you have any advice regarding what to put in my second appeal please.

You could go back to them now with the pic of traffic order map saying in the light of this you were in a designated parking place, plus this Maps view from 2022 clearly shows bays.

The only thing they might argue is the rear of the car was outside the bay but their illiterate rejection could mean anything.

Whatever you'll probably have to wait for the notice to owner - is this you and are the logbook name and address correct?

Take photos pl of the traffic signs in the permit holder bays immediately before and after your parents' house as indicated on the plan posted by stamfordman. Close up and wider angle to show context.

I don't think there are any parking signs by those small bays but we shall see.

The photos posted by the OP show signs fore and aft, but at oblique angles.

Yes on council pics we can see one in the small bay ahead but not in the one by the car.

from what I can remember there is one on either side of the road as you enter the road and then one past where I was parked near the other bays.
