Hi

Trying to help a friend here, he received this NtO today for an alleged offence on 14/12/2019.
He did not have a ticket on his windscreen on 14/12/19 and was not aware he made a parking error.

The ticket is for parking on a taxi rank, it was raining on that day, no other vehicles were there and he does not recall seeing any signs
Just checked Google Maps, and the road marking is very faint, and rubbed off. and there is a small sign but it looks like it says "No Waiting 6pm-1am - Except Taxis"
This ticket is from 16:30

This is from Google Maps - not my car

As you can see Taxi is not clearly visible, and the sign seems like it says as above

yes

The link takes you to an older image from 2015, but a manual search for Egg Box, Manchester Road, Nelson takes you to a picture from 2018. Which shows you can not see Taxi on the floor properly.

Yes, the 'taxis' paint has virtually gone, but the sign is plain enough, and states "No Waiting 6pm - 1 am except taxis", so your friend may struggle with this one. If one parks in a marked bay there is duty on the motorist to check for signs of restrictions. Having said that, there appears to be nothing on the bay marking to distinguish between, the normal bays and the ones with a taxi restriction other than the almost non-existent taxi marking. Where was he parked exactly ?

I agree on the 6pm-1am but the ticket was from 4.30PM so 1.5hours before the enforcement comes into play.
he parked just after 4 for about 30mins, and there was no parking notice on his windscreen.

He was parked more or less where the sign is, but does not remember seeing the sign. He went back to check and he is correct the signpost is not there..

So GSV was out-of-date. Now there is a clear sign and "Taxis" on the carriageway. Best pay the discount OMHO
