You have a resident's permit?

I knew the parking timings. I left it overnight, and forgot to move it the next day. Normally I'd wake up and move it to a permit bay as it becomes available.

I was just seeing if I had any way of wriggling out of it.

None that I can see, although our Hippocrates may be able to suggest a 'technical' appeal that has nothing to do with the contravention itself.

There is no legally mandated requiremnt for 2 signs, but there is an adequacy of signs requirement in Regulation 18 (1)(a) of The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996 : -

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/2489/regulation/18

However, you parked on a single-yellow line with no signs. Surely this should have alerted you that the location might be in a Controlled Parking Zone and you needed to check your parking ? . These CPZs are in place all over London.

Hi everyone.

I got a PCN for parking during restricted hours on Caledonian Road. The PCN is below. The pictures only showed my car, and no street signage.

The closest gateway signs (if they're called that) has one of the signs missing on one side, I don't know if that helps. This is on Brewery Road.

I appealed simply saying "The contravention did not occur". I have included their response to the appeal below as well.

As usual any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
