Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Northumberland - Code 01 Parking in Restricted Area during prescribed hours - double yellows
« on: October 28, 2023, 08:50:17 pm »
Hello
I received the attached Penalty Charge Notice.
The location is https://maps.app.goo.gl/hcMFUDavKHhRogoE6
It's the verge off Hartford Bank, going uphill from the Plessey Woods Country Park sign.
There was so much leaf fall on the road that the double yellow lines were hidden when arriving from the north downhill. I have never been there before so wasn't aware of the road or restrictions. It appeared to me when I arrived from uphill direction that it was a single yellow line. When I parked, I looked for a metal sign but there was none. If the double yellows had not been hidden by leaf fall, it would have been clear to me not to park. As the verge appears as a layby and is next to the Plessey Woods Country Park sign, I believed it was a legitimate place to park. There were other cars parked there. The civil enforcement officer's photos are below. They show the road and are open to your interpretation whether they show double yellows or leaf fall hiding one yellow line. Let me know your honest opinion, please.
Thank you for any advice.
