The tide goes out again in Newham

 

The same Newham employee writes to the same motorist on the next day about parking in the same bay with the same car and does a complete volte face on the previous day's letter, as produced in yesterday's blog.

It seems that cheating is still the order of the day.

What the motorist said about bays having to be signed is true.

A warning notice has no legal underpinnings.

A controlled parking zone sign has no meaning within a bay, it applies only to single yellow lines (ones without their own sign). 

Has the tide turned in Newham?

 

The above is an extract from a letter dated 29 September which takes us halfway to the correct situation.

A council cannot use a 'warning notice' (under what legislation?) to prohibit a motorist from parking in a bay which has no signs or unreadable signs due to vandalism.

The motorist can take advantage of free parking if he/she so wishes.

The same motorist has another PCN in the challenge process? Any bets on whether it will be cancelled or not? 

(Spoiler alert - the tide goes out again in the next blog due to a letter of the following day to the same person).
