Liverpool PCN - advice sought please!!

[FightBack]

Hi all,

 

I'm usually more involved in the bank charges side of the forum, however, would appreciate any help from the experts over this side..

 

My wife parked her car on Lydia Ann St in Liverpool yesterday & was given a PCN, which appears to be all in order in terms of wording & layout etc. It was issued by a Civil Enforcement Officer working for Liverpool City Council. She was apparently within an Outer Restriction Zone (whatever that is). However, the sign is at LEAST 150 meters from where she parked, (on the junction with Duke St & Kent St for those that know the city) & the actual street she parked on has no signs whatsoever on it, although it has a single yellow line on it. Given that the sign is so far away, is this reasonable grounds for an appeal?

If the line is within a CPZ signs are only required at the entry points to the zone, signage in each street is not required at all.

I was in Liverpool Town Centre last week, and if I were you inspect the signs and lines for legality.

There are some echelon parking bays near the Liver Building which are not marked properly and some parking bays which have double line endings and badly faded yellow lines.

Am off to Liverpool tomrrow to see the Tall Ships so I will have another look round.

Is there no maximum distance limit on where the nearest sign should be? Otherwise a CPZ could be huge with only a few signs at the perimeter?!

No, entry signs are the only requirement, the SYL is still indicates a restriction so you should not park unless you know what time the restriction is.
