hi,
my hubby parked on our road at night when returning from work as there were no parking spaces in the 2/3 roads surrounding our house he parked outside the school on our road which has the yellow zigzags and single yellow line.
we live in a controlled zone so have a permit for the road, now i'll pay this as he's on a single yellow line so is definitely a contravention but i'm just curious that as he has a permit for this particular road then can i park there or not (i'm thinking you can't park there even though it's school holidays), or could i appeal to the council on the grounds that even though they have recently turned the local area into a controlled zone we are unable to find parking hence why he was parked on the yellow line in the first place.
any help is much appreciated but i'm guessing this is a pointless battle and i should just pay up.
