Barking and Dagenham, Code 62 Parked with one or more wheels
DIR By: HBaig

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
I have received this PCN for parking on footpath at 6:14am , My
concern is that we as residents normally park there out of
single yellow line hours, and i have been parking there for
nearly 7 years but never received a ticket. I thought single
yellow lines rules apply there, I have seen other drivers who
left their cars in past after 8:30 received PCN's which
indicates single yellow rules apply there. My car was not
obstructing any pedestrian pathway.
Please advise any chance if i challange this pcn that it will be
approved.
Regards

Must say it looks a clear footway contravention but cases are
won where there is longstanding expectation of it being OK.

Barking and Dagenham have long had 'form' on off-carriageway
parking. Just have a tootle around their residential streets and
you'll see lots of off-carriageway parking and not a sign in
sight. It seems they tolerate, (i.e do not serve PCNs), in lots
of areas. Yet we still see PCNs like yours every so often. It's
difficult to give advice if there are no signs allowing it, as
the contravention is clear.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, if there is no sign allowing it or other
way, does it not apply single yellow line rule there, and do
they serve PCN round the clock as this was written 6 am ?

In Greater London there is (and has been for decades) a
statutory prohibition on parking with any part of the vehicle on
the footway. That applies 24/7
UNLESS the Council passes a resolution disapplying the ban on
all or a specified part of the footway in specified roads.
That said, if parking on the footway has taken place for a
number of years without attracting a PCN this may give rise to
the defence of legitimate expectation that enforcement is not
taking place. Absent evidence from historic GSV, this claim as a
defence would need to be supported by evidence - e.g. statements
from neighbours.
