Got a PCN today from Lewisham Council for parking in an illegitimate parking bay. Unfortunately, for me, there was no bay markings and the ground was covered in snow and ice. To top it off, the parking officer started telling me off for not checking the spot, like I go there all the time . I only went to Blackheath to buy lunch for my 2 year old.

you have a good case to object, it happened to me once where the markings wernt clear and i got away with it

In fact you have your perfect alibi!!!

The picture clearly shows your car was not there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorted!  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

i was so hacked off. The guy kept trying to take pictures so I stood in front of the license plates

Searching for a nice E63 AMG or S8 V10 to replace my "wonky" TDV8

I'd say, good grounds to appeal. If they don't just accept your initial appeal straight away, it can take a couple of months and a bit of work, but it's worth it.

Used some good info from various websites with mine a couple of years ago, google PCN appeal.

Good luck

hi, they can not enforce the ticket if the bay markings are not visible, make sure you have a photo of the bay covered by the snow/ice...i bet they don't... i have got away with parking on a double line as there was road works and it was not repainted for about 5 meters. do not pay as when you pay you are technically admitting the offence. when you appeal the ticket is held at the discount rate so even if you don't win it will not go up...as rockys misses said...fight ,fight,fight
