I got a parking ticket whilst not on the road or footpath or blocking an entrance.?

Question

I was parked on a cobbled section beside an entrance. I took photos that clearly show the curb behind my car so I was not on the footpath. I was not blocking the entrance. I was about 6ft from the road beside a wall. I have taken photos including one of another car which i about the same distance away from the road blocking an entrance and he did not recieve a ticket.

Have a got a case to appeal?

The ticket says i was parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours.

Answer 1

def appeal - you have nothing to lose!

Answer 2

What a lot of people don't realise is that parking restrictions, yellow lines, double yellows, zig-zags and loading bans, are in force from the building line, therefore they include the footpath.
Unless the cobbled area is private land, the ticket was issued correctly.

Answer 3

for 'parked on a restricted street during prescribed hours' you must have been parked on a street that had single yellow lines with a timeplate, double yellow lines, or a no waiting sign at all major entrances to the street

Answer 4

Was there any signs up to say the area was designated as a no parking area?
By what you have said and taken at face value I think you have a very strong case to lodge an appeal.

Answer 5

Did you check the area for other signs indicating restricted parking? You may have a case - I'd try the Citizen's Advice Bureau as a first port of call.

Answer 6

You can always plead not-guilty and have your day in court. That's your right! Present your case & your evidence to the judge and hope for the best.

Answer 7

A private bit of land it looks like,so best pay up has it ain't worth the hassle.

Answer 8

What did the ticket say as the reason for it?
