Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN Croydon - Ticket for parking in a (decommissioned) disabled bay

Not 100% sure who painted the signs out but am assuming it was the council as the other bay has had the marked space and word 'Disabled' painted over in black paint too

Also, on a point of principle I should prob contact the council/local councillor to double check the status of them and get them formally decommissioned. Seems nuts that a space that's been painted out on the road and had the sign painted out is still showing online as a proper bay and presumably therefore illegal to park on, whilst at the same time not reserved for disabled drivers

Thanks for the replies so far. Annoyingly it looks like I don't have a legal leg to stand on then, and may have to just pay up? Really annoying as we know that both the disabled residents that the bays were for have moved and the signs have been painted over. Am tempted to appeal anyway, seeing as the worst that'll happen is I have to pay the lower fine anyway in a few weeks?

Code 40 - Parking in a disabled bay (decommissioned)

Hi there.

New member and first post so grateful for any advice.

We have 2 recently decommissioned disabled bays on our residential street, which people regularly now park in. The disabled residents no longer live on the road, hence the official signs being painted out.

Both have the signs on poles blacked out but one still has 'Disabled' written on the road itself.

I parked in the space with 'Disabled' written on the road, but has a sign that's been painted out.

We're on a cul de sac and street maps haven't done our bit of the road but the other disabled bay (before it was painted out) is here. https://shorturl.at/o80OI

The one I parked on is the same (but with the sign on the post painted black).

I'd like to appeal as am assuming I shouldn't have got a ticket for parking in an old bay with no signage but would be grateful for any advice before I do.

It happened yesterday so I've 2 weeks till the charge jumps up.

Thanks again
