Thanks for the response. I will write to council as advised. Should I also mention the double yellow lines?

I'm not yellow lines would make any difference, one way or the other.

I have got a response where they have denied to cancel the ECN. Below response:

The first line of the response says that ECN was issued as it was parked in a parking bay which was not for this class of vehicle.

There was no such signage there mentioning that my car can't be parked there.



Please advice.

The point that there is both kerbing up to the where the cars are parked and that the area seems only rough gravel/dirt suggests that it is not an "approved" area to park in.

I think this is where you parked is is not - on the rough patch at the end?

The Nissan without the ticket might have arrived after the parking warden had done their rounds and ticket-ed all the vehicles that were at that time parked in this area.  This vehicle then left (with their ticket!) and the red Nissan arrived.  Maybe they will get a ticket when the warden next do their rounds or maybe they will get lucky and leave before that happens.

Yes that is where I parked on the rough patch at the end. And as I said on my post earlier, a car came out and gave me space and I parked between 2 cars. Highlighted in the image below:

My points for appeal as I see


1. ECN says Infringement code 06. Code 06 means "Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket or voucher." Whereas I have online parking receipt.

2. The Google map street view shows, double yellow line in front of the kerb where I parked. Which makes it clearer parking can't be done there. GSV image below:

Image of my car parked and as you can see there are no double yellow lines, no lines at all.

Need advice on what to write in appeal.

Hi,


I have received an Oxford city council ECN pasted on my windshield after paying for the parking online with RingGo. The parking location & parking ECN are posted below.



The ECN says infringement code - 06, Unauthorised class of vehicle. Upon doing a quick search found from Oxford council's own website - https://mycouncil.oxfordshire.gov.uk/documents/s27341/CA_OCT2114R04%20-%20Parking%20Policy%20Annex%201.pdf



That code 06 means - 06 Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket or voucher.



But I had done payment via App. I have my parking receipt from App, and you can't display it on car.



One person in the car park though told me that the parking inspector put a notice because my car was parked at a location where cars should not be parked.

Well, I did not know that, as when I entered the car park 4 cars were parked there and one of them came out and I got a place to park. So it was absolutely not clear if that was not a place to be parked.



On the photo you can see there is another volvo besides my car, that also had a Penalty stuck to it's windscreen. But there was a red Nissan on the right side without any ticket.

And a 3rd photo of cars which are not parked inside the bays obstructing parking. Also without any tickets.

I want to understand how and what should I make the appeal against. Also the parking charges are more expensive £100/£50(reduced rate) as opposed to £70/£35 standard council rates.



Thanks
