Contravention Code 02 with no single or double yellow lines and
No yellow "blips" on the kerb
DIR By: disabled78

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have received a PCN ticket with Contravention Code 02 with no
single or double yellow lines and No yellow "blips" on the kerb.
I have made an appeal which was rejected the next working day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further evidence can be seen by using the PCN No. and Vehicle
reg.
Please advise:
1) Since the appeal has been rejected, based on the grounds and
circumstances, do I have chances of winning if I take it to
formal representation or should I take it further for formal
representation?
2) What other grounds or information can I specify during formal
representation?
3) What is formal process involved in formal representation. I
am aware of NTO will be sent in 28 days, and then what are the
steps involved thereafter?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Appeal which was rejected follows:
Dear Sirs,
The registered keeper of this vehicle XXyyXXX, received a notice
dated 16 March 2026 with Notice No.BK111111111 with
Contravention Code 02 - Parked or Loading/Unloading in a
restricted street where waiting and loading/unloading
restrictions are in force
I contend that the alleged contravention did not occur and wish
to appeal against it on the following grounds:
Following information and following exhibits are part of the
appeal.
- Blue Badge was correct displayed with the clock, and can be
seen on the Dashboard. Picture of the same at the time of the
incident has been provided as evident from the pictures from
Enforcement Officer.
- The car was stopped on the side of the road from 17:05 to
17:06 with No yellow line and No yellow kerb blips and correctly
displayed blue badge, there were no kerb blips to alert me to a
loading/unloading restriction so I have no reason to check for
any other regulatory notice plate up and down the road.
- Under the Equality Act 2010, Blue Badge holders must be
treated with understanding and can’t be discriminated against.
- The car was not loading or unloading rather picking up an
autistic child which is generally allowed with Contravention
Code 02
- Legislation states that a Contravention Code 02 is used when a
vehicle is parked on single or double yellow lines and a loading
ban is in place, which is indicated by yellow "blips" (or
stripes/chevrons) on the kerb; on this incident there were no
single or double yellow lines and No yellow "blips" (or
stripes/chevrons) on the kerb.
- There is an obligation at regulation 18(1)(b) of The Local
Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales)
Regulations 1996 to maintain signage, in this instance the
council has quite plainly defaulted on this obligation.
Contravention Code 02 is generally prohibited by yellow kerb
blips which was missing in this case.
- As a result the signage is not adequate, and it follows that
the contravention alleged did not occur.
I would kindly like to point in particular :-
Referring Section 16 of Equality Act 2010 which says you must
make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities:
16.1 The Equality Act 2010 says that providers of services to
the public must make 'reasonable adjustments' to remove barriers
which may discriminate against disabled people.
Please cancel the PCN with immediate effect.
If the PCN has not been cancelled, please provide a POPLA code
that allows me to appeal to POPLA.
Thanks and Regards,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to the council, you were in a Restricted Parking Zone.
In case you didn't know, these are the Devil's device because
they act as a CPZ but without the markings!
Therefore, if you were only this applies:
The car was not loading or unloading rather picking up an
autistic child which is generally allowed with Contravention
Code 02

Yes it's an RPZ but there must be clear entry signs as examples
below. The CEO has taken pics of a repeater sign.

Thanks for all the useful information.
So is it worth taking it via formal representation (and what
grounds) or just pay up and close it off?
Thanks

Pl expand on what I posted i.e. 'picking up autistic child'.
Subject to conditions, this is an exemption from the waiting and
loading restrictions irrespective of whether in a CPZ or RPZ.

Thanks.
I believe if I take it via formal representation then I loose
the 50% discount option, is that correct?
If I loose the discounted option, then I would like to know what
are the the chances of success with this reason - 'picking up
autistic child' (please note - based on the PCN ticket, car was
stopped for approx. 2 minutes) - based on past information that
you guys might know?
Everybody - please feel free to share your opinion/guide.
Best Regards,

We are really looking for you to describe your actions. i.e. did
you need to leave the vehicle; where was the child picked up
from, etc.
two minutes sounds entirely reasonable but we need you to
explain what happened.
And lose is spelt with one 'O' btw (personal issue for me)
