IMO, an adjudicator would disregard your claims regarding whether other cars park as you but without being penalised.

But what they can consider IMO is 'Ive moved to Dagenham a few months ago and have always parked in the same area'. This is your experience which could inform a defence of 'legitimate expectation'. But you'll need to put meat into this claim.

As I suspected, they "tolerate" off-carriageway parking and leave it up to CEOs to decide whether to serve a PCN or not depending on the car's position. I suggest you talk to a few neighbours to find out what is going on, and also contact the local councillors to ask the same question.

Hey,

I have now added up to date pictures on the Google Drive inc the CPZ Map of Dagenham. There are no signs stating anything other than the Lorry sign.

Dagenham are absolutely shite at this sort of thing because GSV shows cars parked part-off-carriageway in virtually all these type of streets; i.e. they have form !!

Unfortunately, the latest view of this street is 2020, and much can change in that time. There should be signs on both sides of the street to indicate whether off-carriageway parking is permitted and from where to where on the street. Are there such signs ? With GSV out-of-date, it is now your task to tell us if there are any signs indicating off-carriageway parking.  I had a quick look at other streets in this estate and there are NO such signs in 2020, yet cars parked part off-carriageway indicating it was tolerated then.

Pleas also post the PCN. Do not redact anything if this is a kerbside PCN. Redact only name and address on postal PCNs and on other postal enforcement documents.
Sorry, found it !

Hey,

Ive moved to Dagenham a few months ago and have always parked in the same area. I parked like all the other cars half on the pavement. I hadnt checked up on my car for couple of days and when i checked today I had 2 PCN's with the Code 62. My question is if this is fair as I was the only one who received PCN's. Ive checked with the owners of the other cars which are seen in the councils evidence and they have not received any PCN's. Do I have a chance to appeal this ?
