Barnet Council - Contravention Code 62 (Parked on a footpath) -
Henry Road EN4
DIR By: Bulop
Date: September 12, 2026, 10:42 am
---------------------------------------------------------
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.
