Car towed Newham, code 01 parked in a restricted street
DIR By: roxyord@gmail.com
Date: June 30, 2026, 7:04 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
on 27 Jun 2027, I got to Atlantis Avenue at 2am, saw a bay
marking but also a double yellow line that extended into the
next bay, saw it as a viable parking spot as it was 2 am at the
time and street signs read Mon-Fri 9am-6:30pm. I have parked
several times in said spot with no issue and seen others do
same. I came out at 1pm 27 Jun 2026 to find my car gone and upon
investigation discovered it had been towed. Upon car retrieval,
I noted that I had received PCN PN26255708 at 07:46am and my car
was towed at 09:02 am. you will find from the pictures that I
was not obstructing any turns or pedestrian crossings or curbs.
I am essentially writing to see if I have grounds for an appeal,
as I feel the punishment of £360 to retrieve my car did not fit
the contravention I had, which I did not actually know was a
contravention because of the confusing markings. VRM: KP21UVC

What a council balls-up ! A bay and also double-yellow lines.
The two are totally incompatible.
As you have paid all there is to pay, you should appeal this all
the way to London Tribunals where I am pretty sure you'd win and
get your money back, but first you must submit representations
to Newham, who will reject them, of course. You then register an
appeal at London Tribunals at no extra cost to yourself. I
suspect the council may then back down, but there's no guarantee
on this.

Whose photos have you posted and if a mix could you please
separate the council's from yours.
The DYL in one of the photos clearly terminates before the bay
in which you were parked, a bay which appears to have a traffic
sign within.
Pl post a GSV link.

These are all my photos, the bay I was parked in is the empty
one at the front with the DYL and bay markings

OK, bay markings worn, but markings like this are always claimed
by councils as OK, so they are OK here, IMHO.
Bay here in 2020

All DYLs in 2018

No GSV view for 2019
Clearly an error occurred when installing the bay.

Thank you, do you think it’s solid grounds for an appeal, if not
the PCN at the very least, the towing

Council pics. Nothing showing any (possibly re-emerged) bay
lines. Nothing on tow.
