Newham PCN39388500

Hi all,
I was hoping to get some help on a PCN I was issued in Newham on
Sunday 11/08/2024. The issue is as below. I would appreciate if
you could advise / help on this matter.

the blue car is parked on this picture beside 'Waverley Lodge'
on roadside):

Contravention: Contravention code 12, parked in a residents' or
shared use parking place or zone without a valid virtual permit
or clearly displaying a valid physical permit or voucher or pay
and display ticket issued for that place where required.
Location: Litchfield Avenue, Stratford (Besides Solar House),
Off Romford road London
Date: 11/08/2024, Sunday
On Sunday, I came at Litchfield avenue to park my car at around
11 am and saw a car space (Pics given). The parking space is for
a pay parking (Monday to Saturday), so I thought I can park free
on Sunday. Therefore, I didn't hesitate to park. When I came
back at around 1:40 pm, I saw a penalty notice on my car. I was
shocked and surprised.
Based on the above, I would request you to kindly cancel this
PCN.
Many thanks!

Was it an "event day"?

West Ham played at home the day before and I can't see an event
day at London Stadium for 11 August but that doesn't mean there
wasn't something else in the area.
Spotting the entry signs on main roads in these often large
zones and having no idea how to check if it's an event day when
you reach a bay is unreasonable as we've often said. The parking
signs don't even tell you what borough you're in.
Eg this zone I think has signs some way back on Romford Road:

The CEO took a pic of this sign along with a few pics of your
car:

I saw the picture which CEO has taken is the correct location.
I've no clue if it was a event day.

What will happen with the PCN then if there was an event and
general public were not aware?

The PCN will be enforced, because the council will claim they
posted the event date on the signs at the entry points to the
parking zone. You have to prove they didn't do this.

How do I find out whether they had posted the event date on the
signs at the entry points to the parking zone? And also, where
is the entry point of the parking zone?

You will have to do some homework and legwork. Find out the
extent of the zone area, and look for the entry sign on your
route to the parking location where you got the PCN. You need to
also submit representations stating that you saw no dates for
the event on your journey. If they come back and say "it's all
on our website", then they are on the way to losing at the
adjudicators, because they have then failed their legal
obligations to place signs for the restriction date.

What was your route to where you parked.
I've tried again to find an event for 11 August but can't.
