Somewhere in the dim and distant past ! You don't need to quote anything, just say that as no bay markings were seen, you assumed that parking was available and unrestricted. You could also say that the council are no doubt aware that without bay markings, any bar restrictions sign they erect has no effect in law.GSV is dated Feb 2023, and the markings are pretty well worn out on that view of nearly 3 years ago. The law is that if you park in a marked-out bay, the onus is on you to determine what restrictions may apply. However, here, even though there is a sign, if you parked some distance from it, there is no requirement to look, because as far as you can see, there are no parking bay markings.
However, such is the greed for cash with councils, that it is almost inevitable they will reject any representations you submit as an immediate challenge. The next stage, if you don't pay, is the service of a Notice to Owner to the person on the V5C Registration Certificate (what used to be called the "Log Book", because it was a complete record of the keepers).
So the question is, are you the V5C holder and if so, is the address up-to-date ?
is there some text on that first bit in any legistlation I can copy and past in my appeal?!
Thanks for the reply, if i login either to pay or challenge it doesn't show any photos? Are they obliged to show them or do I have to request them?This council may not get their CEOs to take photos, although I'm surprised you haven't found any. Photos are not, surprising as it may seem, a legal requirement. It is your son's word against the CEO
