Wandsworth Council paid parking but PCN for parking in residents
zone code 12
DIR By: Atlas8592

---------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
I received a PCN today for contravention code 12 (parking in a
residents bay) in Wandsworth Council, issued on 20/03/2026 at
KEILDON ROAD.
I did pay for parking as there is a Pay and Display sign which I
saw and paid according to. However, I failed to notice that the
side of the road I parked on is residents only.
The nearest residents only sign is approximately 4-5 car lengths
away from where I parked. The PCN photographs themselves don't
show a residents only sign near my car, they actually show the
Pay and Display sign.
The vehicle is leased through Tusker. I need to resolve this
before any NTO is issued, as Tusker will automatically pay and
then pass the cost to me, removing my ability to appeal
properly. The PCN was issued today so I'm within the discount
period.
I've attached the PCN and photos. The PCN photo clearly shows
the Pay and Display sign with no residents-only signage visible
near my vehicle.
Any help is greatly appreciated, happy to provide any additional
info needed.

It's the wrong contravention if the bay is signed as permit
holders only - it should be a code 16.
You can't rely on any sign that isn't in your parking bay. Any
long bay should have several signs so you don't have to walk too
far to check.

You were parked in a permit holder's only bay and acknowledge
that there was a sign to this effect some 4-5 car lengths to
your rear which you would therefore have passed. Photo no. 5
posted by you is one taken by the CEO to show your car relative
to this sign.
You acted upon the wrong sign i.e. on the other side of a 2-way
street.
Shame, as the PCN grounds are misstated, but the council don't
normally give way on this as the informal stage therefore 'I
need to resolve this before any NTO is issued, as Tusker will
automatically pay and then pass the cost to me, removing my
ability to appeal properly.' is a tall order IMO.

Does a misstated contravention code on the PCN give sufficient
grounds to get this cancelled?

Would it not direct to me after the first appeal?

Sorry, but I don't know what this means.
The council are judges in their own cause and are unlikely to
concede their error despite it being absolutely clear - they
blustered all the way to appeal with my son before caving in.
