So as not to derail another members thread, thought I'd open another and ask general opinions on the following scenario.
I'm expecting a PCN anytime after parking on a single yellow line close to my grandsons school last week. Due to an accident (not me) I arrived late, the school car park was closed for resurfacing that day and that was the only spot vacant. Lots of other cars parked there too and just as I locked the car to go in and collect him, a camera van drove slowly past. Too late I thought and carried on. On coming back to the car, the camera van made another slow pass, obviously recording all the misdemeanours.
Yesterday I walked the road from end to end, and there isn't a single notice showing the times parking is either allowed or not allowed. There is one where double yellows are visible and directly outside the school gates. Am I raising my hopes falsely by observing zero signage?
My council charge £70 for a parking charge notice, reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days.
