Hi all,
I am so glad that I have found this forum and many thanks to those who are making ordinary citizens like me aware of our rights and the law.
Anyways like everyone's story here, mine is not too dissimilar. I have got a PCN for parking adjacent to a dropped kerb. I have been parking there for the past few months (regularly every other day) and never had any complaints and issues as I was not blocking anyone's drive or entrance/exit, but someone obviously was not happy and made a complaint. Anyways here are the details. Would really appreciate if anyone of you could help out and let me know if I have a case?
What I am not really clear about is what is the range of the dropped kerb parking. I mean is there a written law that says that the wheels of the car or bumper of the car should remain within the extreme ends of the undropped kerb before the stones that make the slope or the car can be parked between the point where the kerb meets the carriageway? It would be really helpful if someone can provide a reference or a drawing. I am really keen on challenging the council with this as I believe it is a complete unjustifiable PCN, unless you tell me otherwise of course?
Please note that photo 5 is quite misleading as it is taken from an angle and that shows as if I was parking infront of the entrance which is not the case in photo 6.
Also note that the blue sign does not seem to be a council sign, it looks like someone has just printed and stuck it on the post.
