Harrow Council, 24 Not Parked Correctly Within The Markings Of
The Bay Or Space, Pinner Rd HA2 6EF
DIR By: Dave1UK

I parked up, got out of the car, I saw a disabled bay in front
and also a drop kerb (assumed this was for access i.e.
wheelchair or whatnot). I therefore thought I was being
considerate so I reversed a bit to allow more room and also so
my vehicle isn't potentially accidently damaged. I purchased a
ticket via phone app for an hour, went to pick up something from
a shop down the road, got back to seeing a ticket on my
windscreen. Totally perplexed, checked my parking time, still
had 15 minutes remaining, checked that I entered the correct
location code, it was correct. Opened up the ticket and felt
what an absolute joke. Was slightly relieved that the fine if
paid within 14 days is only £45.00 and not the general
£80.00/£90.00 you come across? Regardless still a substantial
amount for trying to be considerate?
Seems unreasonable, a wheel access disabled driver in front in
the disabled bay may require a bit more room. Some cars equipped
for wheelchair access via the rear have stickers stating please
leave X meters for access.

Go onto their website and see if there are any council photos.
Yours are no good as they don't show the full car position in
relation to the carriageway markings. I can't look on theiir
website because the PCN is almost unreadable for PCN Number and
car registration. If you post them here we can all go and look.

It's a contravention because wheels are in the other bay.
These can sometimes be challenged on lack of traffic order and
some adjudicators consider lack of signage all a factor.

Apologies, edited my post with the reg as realised a lot of
glare on the ticket. Also another member helpfully posted the
photos.

If I was to make an appeal does the clock stop on the ticket?
Thereafter once a response is received I have X number of days
to still pay the fine at the lowered rate? Just wondering
whether this is still the case for tickets or does an appeal
aromatically thereafter result in only the option to pay the
full price?

Usually a PCN served to the car says the discount will be
reoffered if a challenge to it is rejected. This is normal for
most councils, except Havering who have decided, against the
statutory guidance by the way, to not re-offer the discount in
any circumstances.
