hi,
this past Saturday i drove to Chandos road near Stratford (it's within Newham council) and park my car at one of the designated parking bay at around 10.30am, i triple check the parking sign which says permit holder Mon-Fri and believe i can park there given it is a Saturday.
However, when i came back at around 2.45pm, i got a PCN per the picture attached, mentioning i have a parking contravention (code 12), can you please help me with below questions?
1. the PCN only mentions code 12, but it is not clear to me the exact reason for this PCN simply based on the parking sign, also strangely there is a solid white line inside the parking bay (a little bit like zig zag line but how can it be inside a parking bay??) Does it have anything to do with the PCN? or is event date the only reason?
2. if event date is indeed the reason for this PCN, then how am i supposed to know if there is any event near the area, plus what is defined as an 'event'?? shouldn't there be more explicit sign postings near the parking bay to warn / remind drivers who want to park there to think twice?
3. lastly has anyone tried to appeal against similar cases before and what grounds should i use? for e.g. i have never had any traffic offence in the area before, can this be used hoping for an exception here?
many thanks!
