I also saw the markings at the rear of the front wheels, but was waiting for the GSV view to confirm them. Its quite surprising to see the council error with the bays boundary marking. GSV shows two lines in 2021: -

then three in 2024 :-

but is this error an appeal winner ?

Good find.

But WTF is that marking, and I'd love to get a tape measure out for those disabled parking spaces!

Looks like here:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/Q2mqTptSiBwWwYaT9

Front is a metre or so over the bay division (behind is disabled, in front loading).

It looks as if there's a pair of white markings under the front nearside wheel, is this the issue?

If so, I don't read 2(2),2(3) and 2(4) of Part 5 of Schedule 7 to mean that a MIX of 'contrasting pattern or colour' may be used with white line markings for internal sub-division or separation. It's either or IMO.

PCN date 13 August.

Bromley is very keen on out of bay PCNs and it does seem over at the front but there's a pavement marking that could mislead. There doesn't seem to be lateral markings only different paving.

Please post-up the PCN, all sides. ALso we need to kno exactly where you parked, High St Orpington is very long so  a GSV link to the exact location is required.
ALso tell us where your car was parked in relation to the GSV view.

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help with this pcn. When I parked up I parked between two cars so didn’t pay much attention to the floor markings which are very poor/difficult to see anyway imo. I was in a disabled bay with my blue badge on show. Pcn number BY28027108  REG Number  M4RPF

Many thanks in advance
