UPDATE - I did some research and for the headache, hassle and time spent on this, I wouldn't really have a case. So I've paid the charge.

Title: Haringey PCN 11(u) - Parked without payment of the parking charge
Post by: JoeyBloggs on June 13, 2024, 11:00:54 pm

Hi All,

I have a residential permit but stupidly parked in a bay that happens to be a 'Pay by phone' bay. The whole road is residential, apart from this small section that I missed when rushing to work.

On the left is where I parked. On that same left side leading up to the 'Pay' bay is all residential.
On the right is all residential:

I was going to write an appeal stating I'm a resident and it was a genuine mistake, that there were plenty of spaces all along the resident bays, and if I realised it was a 'Pay By Phone' bay, I would have parked elsewhere.

I hold my hand up and it is my fault for not checking properly and assuming it was residential. But is there any grounds I could appeal on?

Thank you for your time,

JB
