LBWF - Rolls Park Avenue E4, 01 - Parked in restricted street -
No CCTV or Images on OCM

Hello,
Parked in the parking bays on the side of 'Pizza Point' (GSV
below) and in haste forgot to Pay by Phone. Narrowly avoided the
car from being 'lifted' after darting out of nearby shop once
being made aware that there was a vehicle about to be lifted by
a local shopkeeper. Sprinted to said bay and asked 'Why are you
lifting me'..
The warden then proceeded to walk around the car and show part
of the rear tyre that was out of the bay and on the 'single
yellow' - again in haste and rushing around the driver didn't
check whether the vehicle was completely in the bay.
Yellow sticker PCN affixed to vehicle - Not sure if this has to
be done before its lifted. In any case the contravention is 01 -
Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours. Currently
still within the 14 days.
Went to attempt to pay payment - but stopped short and thought
lets have a look at the images/video - of which there isn't any
that I could spot.. Is the PCN still valid?
Best advise please..

They don't need pictures to enforce parking PCNs and you were
lucky to stop them taking the car, but they would have taken
pics before doing so.
Waltham Forest is getting a reputation as a tow happy council
and this is a minor contravention but they are entitled to issue
a PCN for this.
As they don't have pics you could try and get this cancelled by
arguing it was trivial but you can't show them your pic.

No idea why I cant see these pictures then :-\
So presumably - no successful chance of an appeal?
Thanks.

WF's site is very slow - if you keep the evidence window open
they will appear.
I'd say you had a lucky escape and should pay the discount but
let's check the signage and traffic order first.

Okay - Do you need anything from me in order to do this?

Looks like the line has a proper order and it's in the right
place.
We've seen a few predatory tows by WF - there would have been no
traffic management purpose in impounding your car for one wheel
outside that bay on a side road.

So pay the discounted rate then I guess as the conclusion?

It's what I call a money-grubbing PCN, but with your wheel on
the yellow line, it's lawful, I'm afraid. If it had just been
the rear of your car over the line, you could claim 'de
minimis'. Mind you, having seen a 70s Cadillac Eldorado
recently, the rear of the car projected about 4 feet beyond the
rear wheels !
