Mr Mustard has come to the conclusion, based upon evidence of the PCNs he has fought this year in Newham, that Newham Council are serial cheats. The above decision by a highly experienced adjudicator, a qualified lawyer, an expert in signs, is the first decision of many similar ones which Mr Mustard is going to show you many of which won't be ones that he fought.
It flies in the face of a decision by the Local Government Ombudsman in which Newham Council admit that (obviously legible) signs have to be in place in order to issue a PCN.
That decision is here.
What traffic wardens often do is to take a photo of the CPZ (controlled parking zone) entry sign (which don't apply to bays) or a photo of the sign from the next bay (which may have different rules) or one from across the road, which never applies although could by coincidence have the same rules.
Councils always have to prove their case and fail surprisingly often, at least they do when Mr Mustard puts them to proof.
The end.
