       Barnet Council - Contravention Code 62 (Parked on a footpath) -
       Henry Road EN4

       Right there, hello guys. This morning I parked on the
       carriageway while I was attending a meeting at a building
       nearby. I got ticketed for "parking on a footpath", when in fact
       there is no footpath. The CEO takes an image showing "park in
       marked bays only", but that is for the opposite side of the
       road, there is no marked bays on my side of the road, so I feel
       it is an incorrect contravention code, because there is no
       footpath parking.
       Also the photo of the "park in marked bays" is on a different
       street  ;D

       No footway? The pictures show a footway/pavement and
       carriageway.
       Obviously whatever the contravention envisaged by the CEO they
       chose poorly.
       "My car was on the carriageway not the footway so the
       contravention did not occur. Please cancel the PCN, which has
       been issued in error.'
       Nothing more needs to be said.

       Alright thanks very much. I'll be astounded if they choose to
       reject the appeal.

       Don't be astounded because >95% of representations are rejected
       by councils. In fact it is probably >98% !! Why, do I hear you
       ask ?
       Because the councils know that if they do this, >95% of people
       just cough-up to get the discount, not knowing much about
       motoring and parking law. Revenues from PCNs in London are
       around £650 million a year, a Nice Little Earner. So you must be
       prepared to forego the discount if you want to win this one.

       I can't see anything other than a silly PCN Mr M. Maybe the CEO
       thought about having to be parked in a footway bay. Is it in a
       PPA zone?

       The Park In Marked Bays sign terminates just before, as shown in
       GSV. The image of the sign attached by the CEO is on a different
       street.

       Not 'The Park In Marked Bays ' sign, but a 'if you wish to park
       on the footway, you may do so within the marked areas.'sign.
       It is optional.
       These are not designated parking bays, they are areas on the
       footway where the council claims to have disapplied the
       statutory prohibition on parking on the footway introduced 52
       years ago by the Greater London Council.

       Ah, interesting. Regardless the contravention the CEO has
       invented has not been committed at all, I parked on the
       carriageway not the footway.
