    My suspicion is that the other "half-dozen" cars were parked on the hotel's private forecourt...

    The hotel's own website makes it clear there is no on-site parking, and directs guests to various pay and display car parks in the town.

    I was meaning the drop-off where the Mondeo and C-class are.
    The 207 and C3 are likely going to get tickets, on the pavement.

    on the 06/11/2018 I parked in Brighton, There were double yellow lines but a very large island outside the Hotel. I parked on the island leaving a couple of meters each side of the car.

    I got a ticket. I appealed straight away. Today nearly 10 weeks later (67 days) I receive a letter saying:.....

    Although you state in your appeal that your vehicle was parked off the road, this does not allow parking on yellow lines during the hours of restriction.
    Double yellow line restrictions apply to the road, verge and pavement. As double yellow lines are enforceable at all times they do not require a roadside sign. It is the motorist’s responsibility to ensure that they check the lines to ensure that their vehicle is legally parked before leaving it unattended.



    Parking on yellow lines can have road safety implications, and vehicles parked illegally are a significant cause of traffic congestion in the city; they can create delays for emergency services and pose a danger to pedestrians, cyclists and other road users.

    The information provided has been considered, but the Council finds that there are not sufficient grounds to cancel the PCN. You now have two options:

    Is there a maximum amount of time they should have replied by?
    This is the important part of their response. Your appeal was correctly dismissed.

    what about the tavern snax van though?
  • To be honest, the private parking was £30 for 24 hours I was there 4 days so it is still a bargain at £35

    Nah, they're legitimately manoeuvring to the highway past the inconsiderately-parked cars :D

    Hang on...the police have now arrived..
