Council PCN
Hi my friend and i have both been issued with parking tickets by the council.we were out of town attending a friends wedding and was issued with tickets when parked in an unmarked disabled bay/road.
In all honesty as we were in a different town we were not used to unmarked disabled bays and we didnt even know it was for disabled users until we received a ticket. We have both since appealed this as without unmarked bays it is difficult for anyone to determine which part of the road is for disabled users. They did have a sign up on a pole but that still didnt indicate specifically.

My friend has received a response yet i havn't and there response was
"I have now had the opportunity to consider the information provided by you and also investigate the matter further. I have established that the CEO issued the notice because your vehicle was parked in a parking bay that is marked for the use of disabled badge holders only. Parking bays/areas that are designated for this purpose are clearly signed"

The bays were not marked. Are the council able to enforce this without the bays marked?

Nope, they do have to properly mark disabled bays on the public highway. By any chance, was it a row of bays where the cars have to park 'nose or tail' against the kerb? I have seen some of these before and they were not properly marked as disabled bays.

Please can you show a Google Street View link to those bays? Just click on the chain link icon to the left of the picture when you look at the exact place on GSV.

Come back here and prepare a reply and paste in the GSV URL - but then you will have to remove the http:// from the front before you submit your reply as you can't post links here yet.

To win your appeal in the end (as most people are rejected at first!) you will have to appeal further and maybe to adjudication. You will need specific help from pepipoo forums where the experts on Council tickets are:

Register and post a new topic there but ONLY when you have either scanned the front & back of your PCN or taken a close-up or macro digital photo of both sides of the PCN. They will need to see the PCN to help you - as well as that GSV link. Please don't post there without pics or you won't get the help they can offer.

On pepipoo you can post links and pictures straight away.
