Hi all,

Southwark - Union Street.


I received a parking charge notice on Saturday night @ 21:28, first spotted @ 21:22. It was a genuine mistake as I could not see any parking signs at all.

Parking contravention 12: Parking in a residents' or shared use parking place or zone without either clearly displaying a valid permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for that place, or without payment of the parking charge.

The next day I looked on google street view and there is 1 tiny sign at the end of the bay attached to a 20 mph sign. Which I could argue is not very clear at all.


Please find attached photographs of my vehicle (Volvo) supplied by CEO and screenshot of the street I parked on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also read a bit about 0845?

Well it's not clear cut but the Traffic Signs Manual, though not legally binding, does provide a useful guide, see page 69 https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/go...-chapter-03.pdf

7.50 Signs should be provided at approximately 30m
intervals, i.e. half the distance recommended for signs
indicating a prohibition of waiting (see para 6.34).
As white bay markings denote a place where a
driver might be able to park, information about
the permitted parking is required at more frequent
intervals, particularly where the bay marking does not
have any legend to indicate the type of user. The first
sign should be no more than 15 m from the end of
the bay. Where the length of the bay is less than
30 m, a sign mounted at the mid-point should
therefore be sufficient (but see para 7.51).


I've measured the distance and it appears the far end of the bay is some 32 metres from the sign, so well over the 15 m guideline from the end of the bay.
