Above you see Cleves Road in Newham where the council have been splashing paint about that wasn't needed.
Mr Mustard found this wrongly painted location on the PCN tribunal website, case no. 2220882876, which had the following comments by the adjudicator.
In order to be considered at the tribunal Newham Council must have already rejected what were eminently sensible representations by the keeper of the vehicle.
What isn't said here is that yellow lines are generally held by adjudicators to apply from the edge of the carriageway to the middle which means that single yellows can be on one side of the road and double yellows on the other.
If Newham Council didn't want people to park at the end of this cul-de-sac they should have painted the double yellows for a few yards on both sides. There is no need to paint anything across the carraigeway, it just causes confusion as it did here.
Was the council blinded by wanting to grab another £130 to help their budget? you bet they were.
The end.
