Greenwich Council, London, parked in a suspended bay (21)
Devonshire Drive

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

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.
