       Hello all,
       Some advice would be appreciated. We parked our car in the
       closest parking bay to us (no parking outside our house as it's
       a main road) on Friday 8 March. I walked past the car today for
       the first time and had a parking ticket as the bay had been
       suspended. This suspension happened after we parked and was for
       yesterday (18 March).
       Here is the section of street

       PCN attached.
       Thank you :)

       Hmm, so you left the car parked for 11 days without attention or
       use.  This is a period that would allow them at least 7 days to
       put up the sign and to start whatever work was intended. A bit
       risky leaving the car such a long time especially in London. In
       fact you're lucky not to have been towed. A picture of the
       suspension sign would be useful, if you can get it.
       Why did you leave the car so long, holidays/work abroad maybe ?
       The main point is your car was legally parked before they put up
       the suspension sign, so should be on the record they keep when
       putting up the sign. So your reps need to emphasise this and
       also state you are a resident. They should then cancel the PCN,
       but probably won't so you'd have to take them all the way to
       adjudication.
       Other thing to ask is - do you need a resident permit in order
       to park in the bay where you parked.
       Anyway, see what the others ask or say.

       [member=1369]peaches[/member] why did you leave the car
       unattended for so long? We can normally beat suspension bay PCNs
       when there was insufficient warning from the council, which
       would normally be two full weeks.
       Also please confirm (to the best of your recollection) the exact
       time and date when you parked.

       This Council appears not to have DfT approval for a suspension
       sign.
