Ticketed at 4.30AM

Ducati66 posted a topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences

I'm wondering it anyone can help in relation to a ticket I was issued at 4.30AM Sunday morning. On my way back from work, I stopped off to pick up some milk etc ( I was probably gone for about 10 minutes). I parked in a side road (Durham Road N7) - I don't have an issue with what I did, ie; I parked on double yellow lines, figuring at 4.30 in the morning there are no patrols. I question the morality and principles of ticketing people at that time in the morning (Trying to support local businesses by shopping locally.) I parked behind a car that was in a residents box. I was not causing an obstruaction, blocking anything etc. My question is firstly, I have checked Islington website and policy documents and cannot find it anywhere that they carry out 24 patrols - As a resident I was completely unaware of this (and unaware that my council tax is paying for it). I spoke to them at the council this morning and got passed from pillar to post. Surely they must have their hours of operation in their policies? Secondly, the ticket says it is contravention: 01, parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours; Which I believe in incorrect, surely ithe contravention should be related to double yellows??? Any ideas? Suggestions??? These are the hours: Zone J Matchday Controls Mon to Fri 8:30am to 8:30pm, Sat 8:30am to 4:30pm & Sundays & Public Holidays 12:00pm to 4:30pm
