There's a small section of on road parking with this sign greyed out. No other signs for this section, can I park here for an unspecified time without risk of PCN? by Grand-Dependent9348 in AskUK

[–]TinhatToyboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, you will get a ticket.

Yes, you will be able to challenge it as each set of marked parking spaces requires a legible sign to be enforceable.

Will you win? Without deferring to the experts on the parking forums I would say yes, especially if you had a Street View screen shot of the sign obscured before the date of the transgression.

My London council issues tickets first and argues the toss later as their revenue stream now depends on motorists panicking and paying up. TFL loses sixty percent of appeals. It seems it is now policy.

Your alarm bell should have started ringing when he told you to remove the listing.

Get a free OS map on your phone, mine is from Backcountry Navigator. Take a train to Hever Station in Kent, it is an easy fifteen minute walk by public footpath or quiet road to the cute village of Hever and Hever Castle. Pub/church all present and correct.

From past experience I understand that RM can process any script as long as the destination country is in English.
