PCN Waltham Forest 21s for suspended bay applied AFTER I had
parked my car
DIR By: 845H

---------------------------------------------------------
Waltham Forest Council
21s Parked wholly or partly in a suspended bay or space (shared
use bay)
Cleveland Park Crescent E17
A little guidance please.
So I have lived on my road for over 25 years, always had a
permit, always tax/insured blah blah blah. I dont drive that
often so my car will often be parked on my road or the next road
opposite. I commute to work either by bike or train and not
really in the habit of "checking" my car. It can be a busy road
because it connects directly onto Walthamstow market. Parking
spots are hard to get, especially as you get closer to the
market.
Anyway
Last year I took the family out on Sunday the 12th October and
parked on the road oppposite and left my car there as usual,
nothing untoward. I've left it for about 1.5 weeks without
checking it and on Tuesday October 21st I contract flu and am
knocked out until Friday 24th. I check my car again on 24th
randomly and I've got a PCN.
Whats happened is that Waltham Forest Council made, where I
parked, a suspended bay and put up signs AFTER I had parked my
car. There were no letters in the post.
I have appealed twice and been rejected both times so now am
making a final appeal to the independant adjuticator.
One of the things I have noted is that the council have stated
that "It is the motorists responsibility to check regularly for
any restrictions"
Is this true? Does everyone does this and I'm just ignorant? How
often are we meant to check our cars? Doesnt the council have to
give forwarning in the form of a letter or knock on doors? Do
the CEOs need to make a note of who is already parked at the
time of them putting up road signage?
Any help is much appreciated as, to my knowledge, I have no
physical evidence to provide the adjuticator and I'm worried its
just my word against the councils.
