Well done guys, I wish mini cab drivers could do the same. I work for Addison Lee and I’m out for 10 hours a day. Westminster Council expect us to pay and display between jobs. When paked for 2 minutes on single yellow you get PCN and all thanks to CCTV. When you have pick up it is the same, and their answer is that there was no activity around the car for 2minutes. Who is on time when getting pre-booked cab??? Just before yesturday I have received PCN because that bunch of thieves(Westminster) recorded my car when I went to toilet near Victoria. It is all about money. Keeeeeeep going guys

I understand your point but this is getting little bit over the edge and makes loads of inconveniences to so many people. This is really selfish.
You might have fun and find it exciting to be circling around the roundabout and beeping your horns but we get stuck in the buses and then miss out trains home which means instead of 7 we get home 11 – 12.
No thank you! If it was one off strike maybe Westminster Council would take it seriously but with strikes every Wednesday twice a day you most probably found the way how to annoy them as well as people trying to get home to spend at least little bit time with their families after a long day at work.

Last Wednesday there was a pregnant women on a bus sitting next to me and had a little one in a bus. The little one was hungry and was tired, thanks to you guys she missed 2 trains and she only has 1 each hour. I can not imagine being in her shoes.

This is ridiculous so please stop it and find some more direct way how to talk to Westminster Council than through innocent people.

Or maybe hop on a bus and you will hear everyone swearing at you and calling you like you wouldnt like.

Thanks for reading,

Lucie

Always warn wesminster when you appeal that you will take it to the ajudicator. As that costs them £70 + per pcn. If they don listen take it to the ajudicator and let westminster pay for the pleasure.

I would suggest you join the forum and make a post detailing your situation including where this happened (Westminster?) and what kind of bay it was (motorcycle bay/resident bay?)

If they failed to issue a reminder that may be grounds for appeal, if you register on the forum the people there are a number of people who have contested tickets that would gladly offer you some advice

I have just had a PCN from RBKC for parking in one of their Motorcycle Permit only bays. I had assumed of course that it was the usual non-Westminster free motorcycle parking bay. While the bays are clearly marked in paint on the road surface there is no sign board, which is the thing one automatically looks for. Can anyone tell me if it is a requirement that there should always be a sign board? The implication if the answer is no is that these bays operate 24 hours a day, which seems odd given that car resident parking bays always have restricted hours of operation.
