Oh I need to clarify that this was not the CEO photo (I never received a CEO photo) - this is my photo for reference.

Do you think I could successfully appeal with this email:

(attaching the photo from earlier in the thread)

"To Whom This May Concern,

I am writing to challenge PCN WW3434433344 issued on 27/4/2025 at Burrowfield, Welwyn Garden City.

I respectfully submit that the PCN should be canceled on the following grounds:

Inadequate and unclear signage:
At the location where I parked, there were no clear, visible signs indicating that parking on the verge or footpath was prohibited. Nearby areas have clear "Do not park on the verge at any time" signs, but these were not present, visible, or applicable to the spot where my vehicle was parked. I have attached photographic evidence showing the absence of clear signage.

Historic use of the area:
I have used the gym at this site since its opening in November 2023 and, like other visitors, have parked similarly without incident. This further supports the lack of clear communication regarding any prohibition.

Footway parking outside London:
As this contravention occurred outside London, I understand that footway parking prohibitions require a valid Traffic Regulation Order and adequate signage to be enforceable. In the absence of clear signage at the location, the contravention is not adequately established.

On this basis, I respectfully request the cancellation of this PCN.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
I look forward to your positive response."

Any thoughts?

Thank you both for the input - I believe the sign is attached to the lamp post (albeit facing the metal fencing).

Is that an issue worth appealing for?

Hi All,

Welwyn Hatfield Council, Code 63 parked with one wheel on or over a footpath, Maverick Gym Burrowfield

On Sunday Morning, I parked near my local gym to use their facilities (on an industrial site, not a residential area).

After finishing my session, I returned to see I received a PCN,

As you can see in the image attached, my issue is that the sign is not clearly visible unlike the other nearby areas which have a ‘do not park on a verge at any time' sign.

This area historically has not been a ‘no parking area’ as I have used this gym since it opened in November 2023.

PCN: WW3434433344
VRM: LS63XJX
