       2nd newham PCN

       Hey everyone,
       I’m back with another PCN on the same bay, but this time with a
       different Contravention code: 12 and now 27. The writing on the
       gates and the black lines painted over the white lines were all
       done while the car was parked. If you check the GSV, you’ll see
       bays without any warning signs on the gates. Also, if this
       wasn’t a bay, why did I get a code 12 before? Newham doesn’t
       even know who painted the lines black.

       Please post a GSV link, rather than screen captures.  You parked
       by a dropped kerb giving access. However, if the bay is still a
       bay, this trumps the dropped kerb. But the bay markings seem to
       have been painted over, so you need clarification on the status
       of this bay. If Merton consider it is still a bay, then the PCN
       is void, simple.

       Newham said in the reply I am unable to verify if the council
       painted the walls or not, however, the markings next to your
       vehicle looks like it has been blacked out and therefore you
       cannot park
       there. In conclusion,
       Also that has been a bay for about 6yrs

       OK, so here is the latest GSV view dated April 2022 : -

       As one can see it is a single bay not subdivided. So anybody
       then could park in front of those gates because they would be in
       a marked parking bay.
       However, if one looks at your first photo, (IMG 2626), one can
       see a clearly marked bay for a single vehicle, and the markings
       adjacent to the gates are painted out by black paint, but that
       has partly worn away. Then looking at IMG 2629, the new bay
       markings are also clearly shown, and again the markings adjacent
       to the gates are painted out but partly worn away.
       This is clearly the work of the council, and a rather botched
       job has been done, in that the white markings have merely been
       painted over, rather than burnt off. Over time, the black paint
       has worn off, thus exposing the markings once again.
       So you could take them to London Tribunals on the basis that you
       parked in a marked bay. The council must then prove that the bay
       was re-arranged to allow the dropped kerb to remain free.

       Also you can see a blanket on the drivers side of the bonnet
       they placed to stop paint splashing

       After the car was parked.
       Pl get away from this for the moment...
       OP, you need to revisit.
       As suggested by others, what might have happened is that having
       realised that their parking place obstructed the vehicle
       crossover they've attempted to remove the offending length.
       But this cannot be done just by removing markings, the length
       must be removed by law i.e. the Traffic Management Order
       amended. If not, then what you have is a designated parking
       place with improper road markings!
       Also, as such a change would create two separate parking places
       both would need to have their own traffic signs.
       Pl return and get pics of the traffic signs in this length of
       street - photos which show context, not just close-up.
       Also, we have members who can see whether the current traffweb
       for Newham shows this to be a single parking place or not.
