Contravention 02 - Canham Rd, W3 - Parked on double yellow line
with Blue Badge
DIR By: almep13

---------------------------------------------------------
Dear Forum members,
I hope you are well.
The driver, a Blue Badge holder, parked on double yellow line in
Canham Rd, W3 (Ealing borough) believing not to be any
restrictions for loading/ unloading as there are no signposts or
any kerb signs indicating such restrictions.
Looking at the time indicated in the BB and pictures taken by
the traffic warden, it seems that the warden had issued the PCN
within very brief moment the car being parked (10:30am to
10:31am).
I include the following:
PCN ref - AO09495858;
VRN - LV68UTB;
and the link below so that pictures taken by the warden can
inform your views of potential appeal grounds.

My personal view is that Councils and their subcontractors issue
such PCNs hoping and knowing that not many would appeal and even
if those who appeal, some will be discouraged to continue
appealing to the Tribunal by the threat of having to pay the
full amount if their appeal is not upheld.
Thank you for your invaluable views.
Kind regards,
Almep13

There are no obvious kerb blips prohibiting loading in their
pics and for some reason there are pics of the BB badge and
clock which are not relevant for an 02 contravention.
No pic of a no loading sign too.
I'd say no contravention.
No blips clear at all on Maps view:

Kerb blips are there on GSV, but VERY worn.

Is a sign needed for double-blips ?

Going back in time I can't see any freshly painted blips and it
isn't obvious there has ever been no loading here.
Traffic Signs manual says:
As the double kerb mark has only one meaning, authorities may
decide that adequate guidance is given without “No loading at
any time” upright signs or with fewer such signs. However, this
could lead to enforcement difficulties, particularly as marks of
this type usually need frequent maintenance.
Even if a sign was there this looks hopeless for Ealing.

Good evening Stamfordman and Incandescent,
That is my view too - no sign and no double blips to indicate
contravention 02 for loading/ uploading in restricted area.
Thank you for your views, I appreciate it.
Kind regards,

Good evening,
I hope you are well.
I challenged the PCN and they emailed yesterday with the
decision to reject the appeal.
I attach their response for your attention.
They refer to yellow stripes and white "No loading" signs, but I
can't see any of them from the pictures they have taken.
Are there any other grounds I can use? What's your view of the
chances of a successful appeal at London Tribunals?

Next stage is the notice to owner. I would wait for that and
we'll help you make the representation.
Is the logbook up to date with correct name and address.

Good evening,
I hope the hot weather is somehow bearable.
I wrote an email to Ealing Parking Services questioning their
decision and claim of double stripes on the kerb.
They responded iterating the same claim. I attach the pictures
of the latest response.
I'm letting it pass by until they issue Notice to the Keeper.
Thank you for your views and take care of yourselves.

Good evening,
I hope you are all well and enjoying the weather.
I have just received this morning the Notice to Owner (NtO) as
per links below.
I believe the two grounds of appeal would be: i) no
contravention occurred (no restrictions in place and BB permit
displayed); and ii) procedural impropriety (Council shouldn't
have issued a PCN and continue to pursue payment as point (i)
did not occur.
Is there any other points / impropriety that you can spot from
the NtO attached?
