Gulland Road - Polzeath

Hi everybody, I am currently appealing a PCN in this road which has bad signage, but the most damning evidence is that a Restrictive Zone sign has been removed and not replaced. I have photos that I took at the time showing no parking sign was present, and also an image from Google Earth that shows the sign, was, at some point, in place (between 2011 - June 2018).

This appeal is based on "The contravention did not happen" i.e. misleading signs, non-visible signs & markings.

If these images can be of use, please contact me and I will send them to you. :beer:

    Who is pursuing you - council or private parking firm?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Indeed, it would definitely help to know what we're dealong with

    If it is council, then pepipoo is the best forum to use.
  • I am being pursued by the Cornish Council. I am happy to take this one all the way, even if the initial, generous offer of 50% reduction to £35, now £70, and could rise to £105 has to be paid. Any advice welcome, but the intention of this post was to offer photographic assistance if anyone else has had a parking misfortune in this road. I have also requested PCN data under the freedom of Information act - You might think the council would just want me to "go Away" One interesting fact is that PCNs in this road are 100% higher than a year ago. Also, it has taken them 74 days to consider my initial appeal. Also, they have issued a "Notice to Owner", to my wife, to lodge an appeal, and not pass the Notice to the alleged Culprit, me. Surely requiring an innocent person to defend the actions of another could also be tested legally?

    What's the contravention code and location given on the ticket?
