Title: Re: Waltham Forest, Code 01 Parked in a restricted street, Cairo Road E17

Thank you.

Looks like I passed that as I went into Eastfield Road and then turned right and right again to get back to where Cairo Road rejoins Church Hill (which is where I parked)

Am I SOOL?

Thanks

What was your route into Cairo Street?

No, you need to check the route and signs first.

Here's one on Church Hill.

Thank you.

Would my representation be along the lines of

1.There was no signage
2. Please establish I saw the signs on the way into the zone?

Thanks

Cairo Road is in the WSC controlled parking zone where controlled hours of single yellow lines end at 21:30 every day.

To enforce this they need to show you would have passed CPZ entry signs on your route into the zone.

Hi Guys

Thank you for reading

Firstly I would like to apologise for leaving it so late to post this (today is the final day I can pay/ appeal before the price doubles to £160.00)

I feel this is quite an unfair charge as I was parked on a single yellow line and there were no signs nearby to indicate any restrictions - does this not mean that the hours of restriction end at 18:30? (I am aware this could be a misapprehension)


All of the available signs were highly faded and had nothing legible on them. The signs are visible in street view but were not on the evening I parked. To the point there was no signage at all within 30-40 meters (guessing)


The pictures are as follows:

Am I correct in thinking my appeal would be that I was parked and there was no signage to suggest any restrictions? I don't know if this 18:30 thing is a default (unless stated otherwise on signage).

Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
