PCN in Suspended Residents' Parking Bay
DIR By: PlasticLetters

---------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday I parked for a few minutes in a residents' parking bay
in RBKC. I entered the road the bay was in at one end, where I
noticed a parking attendant, and parked towards the other end,
at the end of a fairly long bay. Opposite the bay where I
parked, on the other side of the narrow street, was another bay
which had two suspension signs, affixed to a hoarding. As the
council often put more than one suspension sign up for any
particular suspension I checked it but it related to the bay
opposite where I was parked. Very close to where I parked, and
on the same side of the road, but in a bay separated by mine by
a few feet, there was a post with the residents' parking
notification sign but no suspension sign.
I left the vehicle and went around the corner to a shop and
returned after 5 or 6 minutes to find I had a PCN. I was
surprised as I hadn't seen any suspension signs for this bay but
on looking more closely I saw that there was a post much further
down the road that I had driven past before parking but there
was a large and tall van parked right next to it, which totally
obscured the suspension sign if you were driving past and
largely or totally obscured it when on foot.
As I could have parked in other places and had seen a parking
attendant I certainly should not have parked in the suspended
bay had I seen the sign. I probably don't have any grounds for
challenging this but before I paid I thought I would check with
the experts on here. Thanks in advance for any advice - even if
it's that I have to pay.

For meaningful advice please have a read of

and post here both sides of the unredacted PCN, a GSV link to
the location, and any Council photos (they may not yet be online
).

[member=2079]PlasticLetters[/member] from you narrative you can
almost certainly get the PCN overturned, but as John says you
need to read the guidance and post up the documents in order to
get reliable advice on what to do next.

Thank you (and John too); I will do that.

PL, plus a GSV link to the actual location (you say it's quite a
long road) and, if the suspension signs are not clearly
photographed in the PCN, then please take some of your own
showing location vis-a-vis where you parked.

I'm really sorry but I've had a very difficult week and just
couldn't spend any time on this so I paid it to get it out of
the way. Thank you for the willingness to help and I'm sorry
that I wasn't able to take up your kind offers of assistance on
this occasion.
