Haringey, PCN Code 14, Parked in an electric vehicles charging
place on Boxing Day, Gathorne rd

I recently received a PCN on Boxing Day for parking in an
electric vehicle charging place during restricted hours without
charging (Contravention Code 14).
According to the information on the Harringey website
[link:
HTML https://new.haringey.gov.uk/parking/bank-holiday-parking],<br
/>parking is free in this controlled parking zone road on bank
and
public holidays.
The website lists restrictions on where you cannot park during
these times, including double yellow lines, 24-hour loading
bays, disabled bays, bus stops, taxi ranks/bays, pavements or
grass verges, areas with event day parking restrictions, and
zigzags (e.g., pedestrian crossings). However, it does not
explicitly mention that charging places are excluded from the
free parking on holidays.
I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to approach this
or if there's a chance to contest the PCN successfully. Any
insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

So what the council have stated is that where there are parking
bays where one is required to pay, they are free on the days
stated and no payment is required. However, this doesn't mean
any other restriction for a bay doesn't apply. For instance a
bay for permit holders only, is still only for permit holders,
and the same where you parked.
Is your vehicle an electric vehicle ? Did you read what the sign
said ?
At the moment, I see nothing to support an appeal. The PCN looks
correct.
