Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Islington, Code 21, Parked wholly or partly in a suspended bay or space (Liverpool Road, N1) - Four tickets
« on: Yesterday at 02:38:40 pm »
Hi everyone
Thank you for taking the time to help with this. Here's a summary of my case:
1. I parked in a suspended bay late at night and didn't see the sign.
2. I left my car there whilst I was looking after my parents, and then I went abroad.
3. When I returned from abroad, my car had been moved and had been issued 4 PCNs for parking in the suspended bay. Two were past the 14 days for 50% discount.
4. I appealed to Islington Council. They have offered all 4 PCNs at the 50% discounted rate, so 4 x £80.
I'd like to know if I have a strong case or there are any precedents to take this further. £640 would be very painful if I lose.
I have provided a link for my full appeal further down. A summary of my appeal is as follows:
-I believe the council are being unfair and excessive by enforcing all 4 tickets.
-I think the sign is badly positioned and not very visible at night.
-The sign is not located on the part of the bay which is suspended.
-You cannot see the house numbers from the parking bay (or even directly outside the properties at night)
The PCNs are here:
I mistakenly obscured my reg and PCN numbers in the other documents I've uploaded for this post, but left them intact on the PCNs photographed above.
Here's a photo of the suspended bay signage:

Here are photos of my car parked in the suspended bay, taken by the CEOs:
This is the appeal that I sent to the council: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vupbpkp1HT_wRe7TVxj4JoTZilJfRjMo/view?usp=sharing
The photographs taken by the CEOs show the sign more visible than my photos do, due to angle, lighting, etc. There was also a car slightly outside the bay when I went to take photos (Photo 1 below).
Here are the photos that I referencing in my appeal:

This is the council's response to my appeal: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rtbAPwB42r-Pk7nj634MgiQIu0ZNZc6S/view?usp=sharing
This is a photo of the street showing the rough position of where my car was parked relative to the suspended bay sign.
It's clear that the sign is not outside 129 - 131 Liverpool Road. It's between 127 and 125 Liverpool Road.
Thank you again for your time and help.
