PCN code 01 parking in restricted area.
« on: »
Posting on behalf of someone who does not have access to internet.
Circumstances are parked on a road in Swansea on double yellow lines. Displayed Blue Badge and was issued with the above PCN code 01. The car was parked partially on the pavement. They appealed the PCN on the basis the PCN states parked in restricted area I.e. parked on double yellow lines.The Council have come back stating that it was issued for causing an obstruction.
The website state that highway obstructions should be reported to South Wales Police.
Looking for advice on whether they can issue a PCN for one alleged offence and move the goal posts to another.

Just an update for further information the council received an appeal as person was displaying blue badge they stated in their rejection that the PCN was issued correctly as any obstruction nullifies parking with a blue badge displayed. Had they parked on the road then no PCN but by parking partially on the pavement this PCN was lawful. Any advice welcome.

Please read this and update your thread accordingly so that full advice can be given:-

The bottom line is that councils cannot serve PCNs for 'obstruction' unless it's in an off-road car park. This offence is a police matter. However, is your friend willing to take them all the way to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal ? If he isn't, it's a bit pointless taking the matter further.
