Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Redbridge PCN, parked without valid permit, Wycombe Road
« on: Today at 01:46:58 pm »
Hi, I was hoping to get some advice on a parking ticket that I recently got.
I was given a PCN by the council for parking on a 'resident permit only' street. The contravention code was 16: "Parked in a permit space or zone without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying a valid permit".. However, in my opinion, the signage for this parking restriction is pretty poor. The first attached image, taken by the enforcement officer, shows that the sign is quite clearly defaced. Is there an argument that this sign is therefore unclear and not compliant with TSRGD 2016 (or any other similar argument)?
I've also attached an image of the entrance to the street - upon entering, there's no indication that this is a resident permit only street. I'm parked just behind the highway maintenance vehicle, so I wouldn't have passed any signs on lampposts (several of these are also similarly defaced) indicating that the street is resident permit parking only. The first sign indicating the requirement a permit is further down the street from where I'm parked, which I did not walk past as I went towards the entrance of the street after parking. Could I also have an argument on this basis as well? I've linked a Google Maps location of the street entrance below.
PCN Number: AF14045494
VRM: EO71 VOV

Thank you for your advice in advance!
