Newham Council are Cheats - #18

 


Mr Mustard thinks that Newham Council are being conveniently stupid in order to facilitate their PCN issuing frenzy and stop motorists from having free parking (cash or permit free).

Many adjudicators have now spelt out the law, that a parking bay must have a sign. The prior issue of a warning notice is no substitute for the legally required sign. 

Mr Mustard has now found this on the Newham Council website


This is compeltely wrong. The law is that the motorist is obliged to adhere to the rules set out in the traffic order which the council are under a duty to bring the provisions of to your attention by signs.

The driver is under no duty whatsoever to get a mobile phone out, even assuming they have one or have one with them, to start researching the rules which the council must tell you by signage.

Don't tell a CEO of a missing sign, they themselves should be reporting them but instead they are likely to issue a PCN and mark the vehicle down for removal.

Newham Council admit they are Cheats, they tell the public that they are.
