Missed signs that the council had made the area restricted parking unless in bays, so came back to the car at 9pm with kids in tow after being at the SECC carnival to a ticket, the traffic wardens apparently come at that time evry night to get…

Parking "tickets" when parked on private land
Some months ago I was told on here about a site* which gives info on motorists' rights. It appears that a parking ticket issued by the council or police usually must be paid, but anything issued by a private company for parking on private land does not really stand up in court. A lot of shops (Aldi, Tesco, retail parks) in…

PCN for Being in a Bus Lane in Barking Road, East London
I have received a PCN for being in a bus lane on Barking Road, East London. From the image Newham sent me, my car does not appear to be in the bus lane. However, it may be possible that the back wheel is on the white line but it is very difficult to make out whether it is. In the image, traffic lights are blocking part of…
