Glasgow Parking Zone Sign Missing or Unclear
Glasgow's controlled parking zones must be clearly marked with signs at every entry point, and the rules must be properly set out in a formal council order. If the sign telling you that you were entering a restricted parking zone was missing, hidden, or hard to understand, the ticket may be invalid. The council also needs to prove your exact street is covered by the correct order.
Legal basis
Transport (Scotland) Act 2019; Glasgow City Council TROs; Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 (as applied in Scotland)
How to identify this in your case
PCN issued in a Glasgow CPZ. Look at Google Street View to check zone entry signage — if the CPZ entry sign is obscured, missing, or ambiguous, this is a strong ground. Also check whether your street is correctly included in the TRO.
Sample appeal wording
I am writing to appeal Penalty Charge Notice [number] issued on [date] in [street], Glasgow. The alleged contravention relates to parking within a Controlled Parking Zone. I submit that adequate notice of the CPZ restriction was not given because: [Select as applicable:] - The CPZ entry sign at [location] is obscured by vegetation/damaged/missing - The road markings indicating the CPZ restriction have faded to the point of being invisible - The restriction applies to this street but it is not clearly included within the signed CPZ boundary I have [photographs/Google Street View evidence] demonstrating the inadequacy of the signage. Without proper notice of the restriction, I did not contravene it. I request cancellation of this PCN.
Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
