@Tom56789 please read the guidance here (https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/read-this-first-before-posting-your-case!-this-section-is-for-council-tfl-dartme/) and post up the PCN. We need to also see your representation and their rejection, without this we cannot give any meaningful advice as we're flying blind.

OP--Not hopeful but give it a try. There is a yellow line and indeed kerb blips to denote a loading bay.

Put it to them that their website indicates parking on yellow lines is permissible on a Bank holiday and you took their advice. Ergo the PCN should be cancelled.

Where does it indicate on the Westminster website that parking restrictions don't apply on Bank Holidays?

Hi
I recived a PCN for parking in a loading bay in Westminster. It had a single yellow line, divided by yellow dashs to designate the parking bay. The sign said no parking Monday to Saturday, midday to 6:30pm. I was parked there on a bank holdiay Monday from 3-5pm. I appealled on the basis of it being a bank holdiday as it says on Westminster's website that no parking restrictions apply on a bank holdiay. My appeal was turned down. They said I was parked on a yellow line indicating parking bay restrictions. They didn't address my reason that I appealled in that it was a bank holdiay.
Any ideas if a loading bay with yellow line has different rules to a normal single yellow line on Bank Holidays?
Surely when you appeal they address the reason you have appealed. Honestly feels like I got an automated response to my appeal.
Has anyone else experienced this or can help with this PCN?

Thanks
