PCN - Parked in a restricted area (Yellow hatched box) at
Barnoon St Ives Car Park

Hi,
I took my family to St Ives last weekend to visit the Tate St
Ives Gallery, the beach and harbour. There was hardly any
parking anywhere, so after looking around for a while, I found a
space to park in Barnoon car park, see below

The space was over a yellow hatched box, which I believed had
been overdrawn, as it was clear it was only there to prevent
people parking across the pedestrian access way. I ensured I was
well clear of this. I then proceeded to pay for 2 hours' parking
time.
On my return, the parking attendants had stuck a PCN on my
windscreen.
I have till friday 28/08/2026 to pay the reduced fine of £35 or
appeal for PCN to be cancelled. I just wanted to get some advice
from this forum before appealing.
Given than the pedestrian access was not blocked, and there was
no signage prohibiting parking in the space where I was, how do
I go about appealing this fine given I paid for the parking
time?
Any help given would be much appreciated.
Regards
CI

We really need to see a photo of the board that shows the
conditions of use of the car park.

Hi,
I wasn't able to get a photo of the board, but found a couple on
line taken within the last year, and it exactly as I remember
it. Hope that helps

Long time lurker here since the PepiPoo days.
I'm no expert on these things, but going purely by Google Maps,
I suspect the issue may be that you were parked in the protected
wheelchair access area that forms part of the adjacent disabled
bay. I dunno if that makes any actual difference to whether the
ticket is valid or not though!
