OK so we had another case here and prospects were deemed poor but no conclusion. Plus one adjudicated case refused.

We've seen such cases where councils think an entire raised road table at a junction is an enforcement area for a pedestrian crossing but this is not on in my view. The kerbside where you would normally find a crossing at the corners yes and they are sometimes marked with tactile paving, and here the corners have posts that I reckon demarcate crossing points.

Hi, thank you for your response. The Google image shows a red tarmac raised area but it is no longer there it seems. It's very strange.

The Council will probably argue that the road has been raised to assist pedestrians/wheelchairs crossing the road.

Looking at Google, cars have been parking there (on both sides of the road) since at least 2008, so you may have an argument of 'legitimate expectation'.

The alleged contravention occurred at Stanhope Park Road, Greenford, UB6 9LT

Code 28, Parked in a special enforcement area on part of the carriageway raised to meet the level of a footway, cycle track or verge.

Hi, thank you for any help you can offer. There were no signposts or road markings to say that you couldn't park there, there was no CPZ and it is a residential road. I attach photos of the ticket and my car.

It happened on 12 March at 1248. He didn't even wait anytime and issued it as soon as he saw it. Could you help me find grounds for appeal please?

What's strange is that on Google Maps there appears to be a red road patch, that is raised, but that is not in my photos. The bollards are there on Google Maps...but the red tarmac is not in my images
