PCN received from Liverpool Council 01 parked in a restricted street

[Tonster]

Hi All

 

Received on match night a PCN under code 01 parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours. There were marked residents bays (white lines) which I avoided and parked on single yellow line as there were no yellow signs showing any restriction.

Seems the residents parking zone signs (nowhere near that street) applies to the yellow line?

Is this the case and any grounds for appeal?

 

Thanks

Without knowing exactly where you parked it's likely you were in a

Football Match Residents Parking Zones (FMRPZ)

 

The football match residents parking zones around Everton and Liverpool Football Clubs is for resident permit holders only.

 

Like the city centre Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) there are signs on entry to the FMRPZ, indicating the times and restrictions in force (Mon-Fri 5pm to 10pm, Sat-Sun 10am to 6pm from 1st August to 31st May inclusive). If you park within a Football Match Residents Parking Zone, you may be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice. You can view a list of the streets within the zone. There are a number of free bays within the FMRPZ, but spaces are first come first served. If you are unable to park within a free bay this does not permit you to park in a resident bay, on a single or double yellow line or in any other bays without displaying the required permit.

There should be FMRPZ signs at the entry points to the zone and the restriction times shown on the entry signs apply to SYL within the zone.

Why do you mention match night in your post?

on other day's I'd be suprised if the traffic warden's come out, on match night there like all over the place, had to enter a match permit zone a few week's ago to collect an item in the middle of match time, ticket's were everywhere
