@artbolt we can beat most if not all red route PCNs, but you need to follow the guidance John U.K. has pointed to, otherwise we have nothing to work with.

As far as I know, Christmas Day is a 'dies non', i.e excluded from parking regs and enforcement. But this being England, with its greedy councils, and CEOs probably wanting a bit of overtime, New Years Day is not.

it does say no stopping Monday to Friday except loading between 10am and 4pm. How do they know I wasn't loading?  Any way - it seems now I've looked it up that Christmas Day is exempt but no other day throughout the year orher than Sundays . Unless anyone knows different?

I think this belongs in Civil Penalty Charge Notices and I've asked a mod to move.

Assuming you have not paid this (paying closes the case), for meaningful advice please have a read of

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 all sides of the PCN (only redact yr name & address) and a GSV link to the location.

Does anyone know if I can get out of this. I got fine for single red line parking in Islington on New Year's day.  I thought it was Sunday rules on bank holiday re parking.  Obviously everyone else did cause it was full of parked cars on Upper Street at 3pm 😢
What times were shown on the signs?

Red lines are about stopping, not parking.
