Hello all.
I received a ticket for 01 PARKED IN A RESTRICTED STREET DURING PRESCRIBED HOURS From Edinburgh council. I was parked here, under the arches where the red wheelie bin is, Parking I appealed this, and got this reply. Thank you for your correspondence received on 23 February 2018. We have considered your explanation but will not cancel your parking ticket under these circumstances. The parking ticket was issued because the vehicle was parked on a footway that has a kerbside single yellow line restriction. The Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 states that the "road" includes the "road’s verge" or pavement. This means that a parking ticket may be issued whether the vehicle is parked on the road or the pavement. The Highway Code Rule 244 states that you must not park on the pavement. The Council are allowed to control parking on any road, including road verges and pavements, where there is "public right of passage". This is covered by the Roads Scotland Act Section 151. In view of the above we are satisfied that the parking ticket was correctly issued and will not be cancelled. The charge was at the discount rate of £30.00 when we received your correspondence. We have given you a further 14 days from the date of this reply to pay the discount amount. If you pay within this time, the case will be closed. If we do not receive your payment, the discount will end and the full amount of £60.00 will be due. If you want to continue to challenge the parking ticket, do not make payment; instead wait until we issue the Notice to Owner. We will send this to the registered keeper of the vehicle once the discount period has ended. Please note that the charge will then be £60.00. Can I appeal this? |
