Bromley council PCN Code 11 - No visible sign at Anerley train
station
DIR By: Needadvice
Date: October 5, 2025, 4:03 am
---------------------------------------------------------
On 30 September I parked my car in front of Anerley train
station, where there have never been parking restrictions
before. When I arrived, there were no visible signs at all. I
parked in full confidence it was free as usual.
When I returned, I found a PCN on my windscreen. Only then did I
notice that the single sign on a pole nearby had been turned
facing away from the road, making it impossible to see when
parking. Several other cars in the same row were also ticketed,
including one parked right next to the pole, which makes it
unlikely that we all ignored a sign.
When I checked the council’s photo evidence online, the sign was
suddenly facing the correct way. I strongly suspect it was
turned around by enforcement officers before taking photos.
Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Would this be a valid
ground for appeal - inadequate signage / unclear restriction?
Any advice on how best to word the challenge would be much
appreciated. thank you
I tried to use the imgur file upload site but it is no longer
available for access in the UK, please see the link to photos
and the PCN details uploaded in a One Drive folder.
