Southwark - Contravention 12 parked in a residents or shared ….
« on: »
Hi, I left my car parked in this spot for a couple of days and got a pcn. However, when I parked it here there was no sign or restriction (it had been like this for months). To my surprise, when I came back to the car I had a pcn and there was a newly fitted sign. The GSV is https://maps.app.goo.gl/H6AE7WqDg7whaX9R9. I was parked right in front of the houses. I also have pictures of the place when there wasn’t a sign.

When exactly did you park there. This is similar to being in a bay before a suspension is put up but you run a risk with a missing parking sign where you know you are not entitled to park.

PCN time: 17:12 on 17 April.

I left my car parked there on the 1st April and didn’t use it since. I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to park there, I assumed there was no sign so it was free to park

You're lucky it didn't get towed, because you'd have got a massive bill for tow and storage. It's very unwise to leave cars unattended in London for long period, (18 days in your case), because parking suspensions are very common.

I suggest you submit an informal challenge stating that when you parked the car on 1st April there was no sign for the bay. Your GSV link shows there was a sign there in July 2024, not all that long ago. So in your reps you should also ask them when the new sign was put on the pole.

Well don't say when you parked - just that you parked there with no sign and you believed the bay was unrestricted.

Attach your hopefully not time stamped picture saying you took the precaution of keeping a record that there was no parking restriction.
