London Borough of Hackney - Code 21 Parked wholly or partly in a
suspended bay or space - Wenlock Street

Hi,
I received a PCN today for parking in a bay that I have a
residents permit for as I live in the area (Zone A). I received
a ticket as the bay has been suspended. However, I believe this
is incorrect because the council has only put one sign on the
street to show that the bay has been suspended. The bay has two
signposts to show what the restrictions are but yet only one of
them had the sign, which makes it confusing and not clear. I've
attached the PCN and also pictures of the area for reference.

THe only problem as far as I can see is the suspension sign is
right by your car, according to the photos. Of course if you had
been at the other end of the bay, you could claim that you were
entitled to rely on the nearest sign, and if this had no
suspension sign the council would struggle to convince an
adjudicator of their case.
See what the others say, but I'm not convinced you have a solid
case, sorry to have to say it.

Hackney is good with signing suspensions as it puts up a map
with the suspended area marked. Go and have a look tomorrow - it
seems to me only part of the bay where you were is suspended.
When did you park there?

I parked the night before I received the charge. I checked the
map again and it incorrectly shows the illustration of the bay.
It shows that the bay is split into two with a significant
amount of space in between but it’s one continuous bay as shown
on google maps and the images I attached in the original post.

It's one bay but it looks like they maybe first blocked off the
wrong end and accidentally left an outline.
So you didn't see the suspension but you were in the suspended
area of the bay?

Yes, I didn’t see the suspension when parking.

Pl post the full front page of the PCN - what you've posted
omits rather important parts e.g. the contravention grounds, the
time of contravention etc....

Hi,
Full front page can be found in this link here from the original

If you keep scrolling you’ll be able to find it. Should have the
type of contravention, time of contravention, etc

Thanks.
The regs:
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/2489/regulation/18/made
.....the placing on or near the road of such traffic signs in
such positions as the order making authority may consider
requisite for securing that adequate information as to the
effect of the order is made available to persons using the road;
'Adequate information.....as the order making authority may
consider requisite..'
In the circumstances of this case i.e. only 3 spaces(car
lengths) as indicated on their plan, IMO the sign in evidence is
and would be considered adequate by an adjudicator.
By all means challenge and bring in that there's only one sign
etc.

Okay, I’ll challenge the PCN on that basis.
