Medway Code 01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed
hours
DIR By: JOJO1209
Date: November 10, 2024, 12:46 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the late posting.
I was stressed out and found it difficult to deal with this
Please are there any grounds for a successful appeal /
challenge.
If the chances of a successful appeal / challenge is unlikely, I
will ideally like to pay it within the discounted period of 14
days i.e. 10th / 11th November. It is still showing as £35 on
the website.
Many thanks in advance for your time and input.
1. There were no visible parking restrictions seen or evidenced
on the PCN Photo within reasonable distance from when I was
parked. The parking restriction template was not evidenced in
the PCN photos uploaded unto the council website.
2. My car was waiting to be loaded with several items from the
Cash and Carry shop across the road.
3. I have also looked at the photo evidence uploaded by the CEO
onto the council website, I cannot see any pictures of signage
or parking restrictions showing the restricted hours included in
the photo evidence on Medway's website. I didn’t see any parking
restrictions nearby. See Attached.
It was late Sunday afternoon. I went to the Cash and Carry shop
(London Cash and Carry on 291 -293 Chatham High Street ME4 4BN)
across the road from where I was parked to by a number of heavy
/ bulky items for our annual international women conference 14th
– 17th November 2024. I have the flyer for the conference as
evidence. Items included 6 bags of 20 kg special type of rice
and 5 bags of 10kg Ground rice. I had to park as close as
possible to the shop for easy access because of the weight,
bulkiness and the number of items to be purchased and load into
my car.
We have previously purchased these items from them that store.
None was available on the shop floor. The shop assistant had to
go into their stock room to check if they had any at the back.
They didn’t have any in stock but they can order it in for me.
This process took a while about 5-6 mins. Came back to my car to
find a PCN.

Well it looks like a pedestrian area, but there are plenty of
cars about.
Please post a GSV link to the location.
The items you collected seems to fit the loading criteria - have
you itemised invoices?

PCN served 27 Oct.
14-day statutory discount period ended 9 Nov, yesterday.
By your account you were shopping and therefore on the face of
it a loading exemption would not apply.
What was your route to this location i.e. where did you pass the
signs which created the restriction?

John thanks for your reply.
You are correct there are is a constant flow of traffic and
parking on that road including vans.
From my local knowledge it is not a pedestrian zone after 5:00
pm Monday - Saturday. Plenty of cars and vans park on the High
Street after 5:00 p.m. Before 5:00 pm; vehicles drive through
and park Monday - Saturday for pickup / delivery from the shops.
On Sunday vehicles park on the high street from early morning.
After midday its full of parked vehicles. I have never actually
seen any signage or template / restrictions on entering from
Batchelor Street turning right into the High Street with
Barclays Bank on the corner.
I don't have an itemised invoice. The items were not available (
in stock) as per my original post and they went to the stock
room to check if they had any hence the wait and I ended up
having a ticket.
I haven't been able to post the GSV link onto the post or reply.
I must be doing something wrong. The PCN doesn’t give the exact
location where I parked. The High street is very long.
The address is
London Cash and Carry
291 -293 High Street
Chatham
ME4 4BN
