Parked on kerb in London

Mk14:37

This weekend I took my little one out to Newham City Farm to see the animals, and pulled up behind a row of cars that were parked half on the kerb. I came back to find that I had been ticketed for it.

What I am particularly annoyed with is that I read on MSE in the last few weeks that you can't park on the kerb in London - I didn't know this before I read it here, though, and it hadn't really sunk in. Clearly it has now!

I'm going to send in an apologetic letter in (naive) hope of leniency, but are there any actual grounds for appeal? There are no road markings nor signage to say about parking, though from what I read on this site it's a London-wide ban...

There may be other grounds to add to your appeal, grounds that you had not even realised. Post a picture of both sides of your PCN (all the blurb but not the PCN number nor car reg number) on pepipoo.com:

Trouble is with footway parking there is less to find fault with because they do not even need lines & signs. But the PCN could be flawed, worth asking pepipoo posters anyway. Read their FAQs first before registering, you need 'how to post pictures' and you then need to start a new topic when cleared to post.

Thanks Coupon-mad - I'll give it a go.

i jsut read your post over there op-its interesting i didnt even know you could actually get a ticket for it-who has more the right of way then the pedestrians? i mean what if parking fully on the road would mean you block one side of traffic
