Please read the title of your thread and ask yourself if it matches the PCN you received ?

Hi all,
Ive received a PCN from Islington Council and would really appreciate some guidance before I do anything further.
PCN details:
PCN number: IZ38803752
Contravention code: 62 Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any part of a road other than a carriageway
Location: Liverpool Road [Zone B]
Date of issue: 16/02/2026
I was parked on what I understand to be a private road. The allegation is that one or more wheels were on or over the footpath.
I want to understand whether a contravention can even occur in these circumstances. As far as I am aware, both the road and the footpath are private land.
I have parked here many times before without any issue. This is the first time Ive received a PCN at this location. I dont know whether the allegation is that one of my wheels was slightly over the edge, but even if that were the case, I am unsure how this applies if the land is private.
Motorcycles and cars park here constantly in a similar manner.
How can I establish whether the road and footway are adopted highway or genuinely private land? What evidence would I need to prove this?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
