Electric Vehicle Bay Car taken to Pound - Haringey

OMG hello
Wife has had her car impounded by Haringey council for allegedly
parking on a electric vehicles only bay. There is a sign for WG
which we put an online permit for. The floor markings aren't
that clear and she is sure that it was passed the little line on
the right but not sure. Is this legal? I just cant beleive how
bad it is driving in London now. TYIA

Your priority should be to recover the car from the impound yard
to prevent additional storage charges. £280 release fee +
(likely) £80 for the PCN.
Then come back on here and post up all documents that you got at
the impound yard. Just redact tour name and address and leave
everything else visible. We can then sort out formal
representations.
Because this is a PCN and tow case you have no financial
incentive to do anything other than appeal the matter all the
way to the Independent Adjudicator as the penalty cannot get any
worse. And everything to gain, ie the £360.

Blimey you are becoming a frequent flyer here.
As said we can't do anything til you recover the car.
We don't see many Haringey tows. You need to take:
The V5C (log book) or I guess a lease agreement
Proof of address

Hello
We had a very stressful night but got the car back and the car
is damaged in several places. This is just unbelievable and
would like to stick it to haringey for this 'excessive use of
force' in my opinion. Please help. I have added the pcn and the
tow receipt.

Initial reactions:
- You were in the EV bay
- The bay isn't marked with a double divider or with signs at
the divider
- But the EV bay is pretty obvious
- I have not checked paperwork or timings etc.
- There are 104 pics many taken at pound
- Any damage is a separate issue to be taken up with council

A PCN and a receipt, is that all you received at the impound
yard?
Please post up everything you received.

Draft reps and post here.
Point out that there is no gap in markings between bays of
different use and no signs at the divider and so not signed in
accordance with traffic signs guidance.
