Code 62 Parked on kerb, Wayside Barnet.
« on: »
Hi,
On 29/10 I was observed for 2 mins parked on the kerb, this is a narrow road and the car behind had done the same (as shown in the pictures). Is there any way to fight this? I was there for a short time to pick up kids from the park. What are my options?

I'll try post a photo of the PCN itself as soon as i'm able.

Thanks

Are you aware that parking off-carriageway has been an offence in London since the 70s ? No signs or lines are needed, it is an absolute ban. However, if a council decides the street is wide enough, then it can pass a resolution to allow parking off carriageway for named streets.  Most of these only allow the vehicle to be partway off the carriageway. Looking at where you parked, it would seem very unlikely the council would allow parking where you parked, you were basically blocking the whole footway. I also see no signs or marked bays that might indicate such parking is allowed.

Anyway, when you've posted the PCN, fuller advice can be given. There are many possible "technical" issues that can arise with a PCN and the legislation under which it is issued, so I'll hold off for now.

Sorry if this isn't what you would have liked to hear, but we have to deal in reality on this forum.

I think @mrmustard might have a list of roads where footway parking is tolerated.

In any case you need to post the PCN, both sides in full please.

This road is not on the list which should not be ticketed which isn't a surprise as it is quite wide.
I help you pro bono (for free). I now ask that a £40 donation is made to the North London Hospice before I take over your case. I have an 85% success rate across 2,000 PCNs but some PCNs can't be beaten and I will tell you if your case looks hopeless before asking you to donate.
