Overview
- David Miller parked on a six-metre tarmac outside his gate on January 11 because building materials blocked his driveway and found a £35 ticket on January 12.
- He appealed to Cheshire West and Chester Council the same day, the council rejected it the next day, and he now intends to contest the penalty with a solicitor’s help.
- The solicitor has pointed to potential arguments involving signage and a dropped kerb that could break the continuity of the yellow lines.
- Miller says he has parked there for around ten years without problems and claims neighbours have had similar tickets rescinded.
- The council says enforcement visits were increased after local complaints and that its Traffic Regulation Order permits action on the adopted land up to the fence line.
