Just look at the date of this contravention, 27th December. What is the traffic management purpose of this? The only purpose is to raise revenue.
All this achieves is that it sets another resident against the council and makes it harder for the BPA to promote their 'positive parking agenda', which is hogwash anyway.
It would be a simple matter for Barnet Council to not issue PCNs by cctv when schools are closed, just amend the Traffic Management Order to only apply during term time and set dates when the camera does not record contraventions.
Don't blame the adjudicator, however illogical it is he has to apply the law as it was written by Barnet Council, he is not allowed to use his discretion. In a parking case he could make a recommendation to cancel but not for moving traffic.
What you can learn from this is that even during a pandemic the council will still cheerfully send you a penalty by post for doing no harm and stopping (parking) on the yellow zig zag markings outside a school. So, just don't do it, not even for a second, do not stop.
Yours frugally
Mr Mustard
