Parking on school markings during holiday

Londoner007

I would liek to thank every single person offering help and qadvice on this site.
I went back to my car on the 2nd of January which was parked on school markings only to be surprised by finding a ticket, my disappointment came not because of the ticket because i was clearly on the markings but because it was school Holiday and the obviously the school is not in use which made me feel that those parking wardens are doing a hard job to empty their booklets on a daily basis paying no attention to common sense, the sign clearly say Mon-Fri 8am to 5pm with no exception to Holiday period but i still feel very angry and disappointed, will you guys offer any sort of help ?
many thanks in advance.

I think you'd be better looking at

I do know of some who had their ticket cancelled when they pointed out that the school was closed for the holidays - but that was in Bury.

Check the signs and markings are compliant, think it needs a single yellow down the kerb edge with the road as per normal single line and a compliant sign and it has to be covered by a traffic regulation order which you can request is made available.

The actual Zig Zags are only recommendatory and the single yellow gives the authority.

If there are no signs, the zig-zags are advisory.


If there are signs, there needs to be a TRO for them to be enforced.


They may not or may, if in a parking zone, have yellow lines running through them.
