Re: Medway- Chatham High Stret - CC01- Parked in a restricted
street during prescribed hours

Contravention did not occur
By the council's own evidence, both photos and correspondence, I
was parked on an unmarked length of road. The council's position
is that this is situated within a Pedestrian and Cycle zone and
therefore they are relieved of their duty to place yellow lines
to indicate 'No waiting at any time' by virtue of placing
mandated traffic signs at the zone entrance.
The council have not presented these signs in evidence other
than a photo of a sign prescribed for use as a 'No Stopping at
any time' repeater within a Restricted Parking Zone. A totally
different restriction to No Waiting, a distinction which seems
to have escaped the council.
Absent the mandatory traffic signs which permit the council to
dispense with placing 'No Waiting' markings, I submit that the
contravention did not occur.
In addition, even if such a restriction applied I was exempt
from its provisions by virtue of 'loading'.
My suggestion for now.

This needs tweaking. We'll know more if they contest it.

The council have not presented any signs in evidence but my
examination of Goggle Maps reveals a pedestrian zone entry sign
prescribed for use as 'No Stopping at any time' and a repeater
that says 'restricted parking zone' - not pedestrian zone. This
is a totally different restriction to no waiting, a distinction
which seems to have escaped the council.
Absent the mandatory traffic signs which permit the council to
dispense with placing 'no waiting' markings, I submit that the
contravention did not occur.
In addition, even if such a restriction applied I was exempt
from its provisions by virtue of 'loading'.
I also dispute the service of the PCN by post as I believe I did
not prevent the CEO from serving the PCN at the location.

@Stamfordman
@tincombe
Appeal registered on the TPT website to meet the deadline.
I stated that the appeal details would be provided later and am
now updating it with the write-up provided.
Thank you both very much for your help - much appreciated.

The authority has now responded and uploaded its evidence. I
will post it shortly for your comments and advice.
Video or telephone hearing which is the preferred option to
choose?
Thanks
