Redbridge Council chance their arm

 

Khartoum Road

Another random decision which Mr Mustard came across.


 

One cannot look in two directions at once and there isn't much time whilst moving to look for other signs and given that the right hand one was, in effect, covered why would you expect the left hand one to be any different? The left hand sign is much harder to make out when turning right. The full sign is as follows and you need a few seconds to take it all in.


What councils often fail to mention is that there is a duty imposed on them by legislation which is to erect and maintain adequate signage.

This PCN should never have been issued never mind defended at the tribunal.

As it hppens Mr Mustard has just started an Appeal to the tribunal for a parking PCN in Khartoum Rd in which the sole sign was defaced. There is clearly a problem in this corner of Ilford; the solution is not to penalise the innocent but to catch the guilty.

The end.

  1. Another aspect is the blue sign telling you the restriction is term time only. This has already won at London Tribunals on the basis that the dates are not given, and a motorist cannot be expected to know what the term times are for a location he may be a stranger to.
