Hi all, yesterday my car was removed from the road and put in a car pound by Newham Council for parking in a controlled parking zone without a permit. The restrictions on this road are Mon-Sun 8am-6.30pm. The PCN was received at 9.15am and the car was removed at 9.46am 30 mins later.

As a result, I had to pay £265 to release the vehicle. They gave me an appeal form if I want to appeal within 28 days. Was it lawful for them to remove my car, given the fact that the car was not parked dangerously or obstructing, was insured and taxed?

Is there a case for me to take this further? I shall of course upload the PCN and other documents as soon as possible. They didn't give me any images and I'll have to check online if I could get any.
