We have been issued with a PCN for parking contravention 62 4 Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath (all wheels on footway)
 There are no signs/markings that clearly point out on this particular road that parking on the pavement is specifically prohibited. I understand that if not specifically prohibited, parking a vehicle on the pavement could still lead to an offence of obstruction being committed, but in this case, this is not the contravention that has been identified. I am also aware that waiting restrictions indicated by the double yellow lines apply to the road, pavements and verges. In this instance, the van was parked while delivery was being made and it is my understanding that for this purpose we are allowed up to 20 minutes even though there are double yellow lines. Do we have a case for an appeal? Here are two of the photographs taken by the CEO:   |

This needs moving to the Council Tickets forum.
I understand there's a general prohibition on pavement parking in Greater London, no signs needed. Also, the double yellows in that photo cover up to the fence boundary at the back of the pavement. But the experts are in the Council Tickets forum.

Plus you've got those double yellows. Loading is an exemption but only when "there's no other way the delivery could be made". If you were delivering to the house on the corner and all the reasonable parking places were full and you've got some sort of delivery note with the date and time, it's worth a punt. |

Are you not from London? Pavement parking has been prohibited in London since 1974.

Your understanding is incorrect. There is no set time allowed. The time allowed is what is absolutely necessary. No more. If you were mobile groomimg as per your van signage, then you're bang to rights. If you were making a delivery you'll have a signed delivery note or similar?
