PCN match day (Resident)

Espresso79

Evening all,

Experiencing now the euphoric moment after I just discovered a PCN for a suspended bay on a match day: code 21 "Parked wholly or partly in a suspended bay or space".

As much as I could love Arsenal playing, I am tired to pay these pcns and would like to know if there is any ground for appeal based on your experiences/expertise.

I am basically a resident where a lane in my road is often (not always) suspended on match days. See image below:

Officers usually update the signal shown in the image above with match dates, but not always with decent notice (imho).

As I am often away for work, and me and my lady not used to check these info daily, and because for minor matches "they" only suspend the road 50 m down, we have been caught a couple of times and always paid.
Parking spaces are incredibly limited in this area, a pain I was not aware when we moved.:(
In this occasion, considering the match was at 20:00 it is unbelievable spaces were suspended for the entire day on a working day.:mad:

The officer issued the PCN at 10 in the morning in front of my house, my lady removed the car around lunch time..see pcn:

Do you know if we have any decent chance if appeal?:(

Thanks for your help,
Marc

So these are issued by a council. Your best advice is to go over to pepipoo, who specialise in council tickets.

You've potentially got some claim in that it was 12 hours before the match, and "match day" suspensions are unreasonable.
