Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Waltham Forest - 02a Parking in restricted street - Clementina Road E10
« on: July 09, 2024, 10:05:01 pm »
On Wednesday 26th June I went away with my partner and friends to Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, returning on Monday 1st July. We travelled in a friend's car to save on petrol, so my car was parked outside our house on Clementina Road E10 7PD for the duration while I was away.
Upon returning in the afternoon of 1st July, there were dozens of yellow 'No loading' signs on every lamppost on the street with Parking Bay suspension notices on. They stated there was no parking permitted on Clementina Road, as well as several other nearby streets between 07:00-13:00 on Monday 1st July. When we left the street on Wednesday 26th June around 10am, the parking suspension signs were not up. Speaking to neighbours, it appears they were put up on Wednesday 26th June sometime after we left.
Our car was towed at roughly 08:00am on 1st July and taken to an impound, so we were charged a total of £265. £200 for removal fee, and £65 for the PCN. We've paid this in order to get the car back, but feel we've been unduly charged due to it being outside of our control - especially with the parking suspension notices having gone up after we left, and it only being 6 days notice at best.
I have confirmation emails for my Glastonbury ticket, as well as the actual ticket with my name on but there's no further evidence of us being away besides several hundred photos of me at the event.
