I don't think it can be the same place cause this was in Leytonstone but I was let off the PCN. It took them MONTHS to send me the letter but in the end the result was worth waiting for EDIT: they let me off on the contravention code not the road marking btw.

OK, email to the council is in on informal basis. This is what I sent (all identifying details removed)

Multiple things to appeal on. Marvellous. Thank you so much for the advice qnd help guys. I'm really going to enjoy writing this letter

So pleased to hear this. Thanks for your help. I'll write a letter later

Iam getting confused because one of the sites says that Loading Bays must have 'LOADING ONLY' painte don the road as well. Is that correct? EDIT: This is the site that mentions the need for road writing as well as bay markers Scans of the PCN. The only thing I might have going for me is that there's only 1 time on the ticket. So if the officer wasn't watching the car how does he know I wasn't loading.

Hi all. First time for me on here but I wanted to chack something out. basically I got a ticket today for stopping in a loading bay. The thing is, the roaed markings on the 'loading' bay are identical to all of the parking bays that occupy the rest of the street. I just presumed (I know you should presume anything but I did) that it was another parking bay and stopped my car there for 10 minutes to post a parcel and grab a cold drink. I looked at another website that kindly told me loading Bays need to have 'LOADING ONLY' on the road but as this bay is set into the pavement I didn't know if it still applied. basically if the bay had been marked properly I wouldn't have parked there but it wasn't s i am wondering if anyone could tell me if this bay is marked illegally or not. If it is you can be darn sure I'm contesting the ticket. Here's some photo's I took of the sign (which i didn't look at ) and the bay. Any and all comments/thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!
