Barking & Dagenham - Code 62 - Parked on footpath -
Greenside

Good morning everyone.
I received this PCN on a Saturday despite the restrictions
stating it was till 5:30PM on a Friday.
I returned to my vehicle to find that only I had a PCN on my
windscreen and none of the other other cars had one. I made sure
I did not park blocking anyone's driveway or was on someone's
dropped kerb.

You've not received a PCN for the SYL restriction, but for
parking on the pavement, which has been outlawed in London for
half a century.
GSV is not very helpful, dating back to 2014 & 2018, however it
does show
HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/MpBkXeUhRmFD19397
HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/kkviSa2bkTyCYTrh8
marked bays on the pavement and one small sign permitting
parking, as well as intensive use of the pavement dor parking
which you say vontinues to this day, though the bays (if still
there) should be accompanied by signs permitting parking and a
traffic order disallowing the ban.
So you may have two grounds for vhallenging the PCN:
a) that parking on the pavement has been permitted since at
least 2014 as shown by GSV
HTML https://maps.app.goo.gl/DQ1AMxa9sT4nzxzF6
b) even if the ban has not been disallowed, you are entitled to
claim 'legitimate expectation' in that the ban has not been
enforced for at least 12 years.
You need to do some legwork with a camera to check the current
markings situation and to post up a draft challenge here for
comment before submitting.
--------
EDIT:
'I was the only one ticketed' won't wash with either Council or
adjudicator.
Until this PCN is resolved, you are on notice that enforcement
has commenced, so don't park there again until resolved.

How does this sound ?
Informal challenge :
Dear Sir/Madam.
I believe an offence has not been committed. The vehicle was
parked outside the restricted hours ( Mon-Fri 8:30AM - 5:30 PM
). All vehicles during both restricted and unrestricted hours
are also expected to park on the pavement closer to the kerb.
The part of the pavement where parking is allowed has a
significantly noticeable different road surface and also allows
for enough remaining space for pedestrians, wheelchair users and
prams to be used.
Furthermore, if a vehicle is expected to only park in marked
bays on the pavement, the appropriate sign “ P IN MARKED BAYS”
should also be placed

Ok, submit it.
This is only an informal challenge, and almost all of them are
rejected no matter how valid. Councils game the system
ruthlessly to get the cash rolling in. By refusing virtually all
challenges, they know that most people then just cough-up to get
the discount and "make it all go away", like over 95% of them.
Please post up their response when you get it.

Let's see what they say.
Your photos don't show the location in its surroundings, just
the location.
It's risky using dated GSV.
As regards GSV, this shows:
A 24/7 free parking bay where waiting is not permitted Mon-Sat!
Cars parking on marked footways without lawful authority as
regards mandatory traffic signs.
What a dog's breakfast.

There are several points.
This council widely uses footway parking often badly signed and
this area has widespread footway parking. This can mean they
have a longstanding resolution disapplying the London footway
parking ban along entire streets.
There are marked footway bays on the traffic order map but the
order does not specify 2 or 4 wheel up bays only resident permit
bays.
Are there any footway parking signs in any part of the road.
Where were you on this map:
