Morning everyone. from the pictures you can see clearly I have parked in a single bay without any signpost. I got PCN 12. they have taken picture of the signpost next to the bay I have parked my car. when you enter this road there is a big sign about the controlled parking restrictions but my argument is that there is no signpost for the bay I have parked in. the council have refused my representation on grounds of "the signage is not for individual bays, it governs all the vicinity. Do I have a chance after I receive the NtO or should I just pay the discounted amount. need your help please.

This looks very simple to me: the TRO says it's a disabled bay so it cannot be a code 12, end of. Or have I missed something?

That's what the OP fell foul of. Presumably residents have permits to cover this hour of prohibition!!!

Mick? CPZ signs have no effect except upon single yellows.

What OP says is largely correct.
There was a disabled bay that seems to have been discontinued or simply that the post has been damaged or removed.
The road markings make it clear that this bay is not part of the next door, signed bay.
That sign can have no effect, next door or in Liverpool it simply doesn't count.
Road markings are worn but visible.
Contravention didn't happen no matter how much Barnett want to push it.
Or how loose they want to be with their interpretation of CPZ rules re parking bay signs.
In a CPZ, each parking space must have its own sign.
The space can be multiple car lengths but once there are termination bars, that bay ends.


+1 it cannot be a resident bay or any sort of bay for that matter other than an advisory disabled bay Councils seem to think code 12 fits all bay situations these days


Can we see the council photos please

thank you for your time and reply. i am new here so trying to find my way around. will post them soon

Contravention is code 12 MMV in a supposedly signed bay. It isn't a RPZ.

Barnet traffic web still shows the disabled bay but in a contiguous bay. The markings show otherwise but are in poor condition. So wrong contravention is another point if Barnet want to argue on signage and their order albeit the sign is missing.

OP- what were you doing there.



thank you for your reply. i live near by. I used to park on the bay next to it and wait in the car in restriction hour. but one day one of the traffic warden told me that I can park in this disabled bay as it has no sign. and its a country without flag. so I parked there and after 3 days got this PCN.

My comments have been directed at this issue: would an adj find that where the OP parked is part of a single parking place governed by the sign or not, and if not then could the grounds of the contravention be supported by whatever restriction applies?

OP, now that you've posted the council's photos we don't have to look at outdated info and extrapolate/deduce/surmise and it's 99.99% certain that an adj would find that the markings indicate to the diligent motorist that there are two parking places, not one as suggested by Barnet's Traffic Web and stated by the council. For these purposes, it is irrelevant what orders might provide, the motorist can only act on the information available which is indicated by markings and signs. The council's photos show to the objective viewer that there are 2 adjacent parking places, one governed by a sign, the other with an unknown restriction. You parked in the latter.

But knowing what an adj would find doesn't help with an obdurate and interested party like the council. So, IMO there's no need to keep extending discussion on this point: if they want to insist that there's only one parking place, then they will and there's nothing you could do to change their mind. So if you are the registered keeper - and therefore receive the NTO - then make reps, see if they reject and then go to the adj.

Plus 1..... the last photo makes the separate bay very clear and is the council's evidence.

If they pushed this to adjudication i would be making a costs application for surely it is frivolous
