Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN from Greenwich Council whilst parked in a Disabled parking bay on match day near Charlton Athletic FC ground.

An update on this PCN. After you sent through your advice, I appealed the ticket to Greenwich Council. A couple of weeks ago they sent a letter withdrawing the ticket 'as a gesture of goodwill'. They also said they had done nothing wrong and were entitled to issue the ticket!

Anyway I just wanted say thanks for looking at this for me and helping me to reach a successful outcome. It's much appreciated.

Apologies for a couple of things:

Firstly the disabled bay in question is outside 106 Charlton Lane

Secondly I had attached a PCN ticket photo and other photos but they didn't seem to attach to the message.Hopefully they do now.

Hello

On the afternoon Saturday 6th December I received a PCN (GR15229973)from Greenwich Council in SE London for parking in a designated disabled bay. The bay is located in a residential road (o/s 96-98 Charlton Lane near the junction with Harvey Gardens) near The Valley, home of Charlton Athletic.

The ticket says it was issued as the car (displaying a valid blue badge) was '21..parked wholly or partly in a suspended bay or space'.  The road sign adjacent to the disabled bay is a standard rectangular 'Disabled badge holders only' sign. Underneath that is a separate square yellow sign saying 'Tow Away Zone' with No Waiting, Loading or Unloading. The sign also has 'Event at Charlton Athletic FC' on it and underneath this are some pieces of paper that say a date and times (see attached).



My question is whether the Council have followed guidance to sufficiently notify drivers that parking is temporarily suspended? Is the yellow sign in line with statutory requirements?

It looks like I could have parked the car on nearby yellow lines as there no signage to say otherwise, so a ticket for parking in designated bay seems harsh and unfair.

I want to appeal this PCN and any advice as to whether and what grounds I could do this on would be very gratefully received. Equally if I'm in the wrong then I'll just have to grin and bear it and pay the fine.

Many thanks.

Simon B
