A ticket? Why?

Here's a BMW on Oakfield Road, Clifton, just opposite a nursery school. Its not blocking visibility of traffic turning left, and there is enough room for pedestrians.

The car is parked in front of a tree, so any pedestrian walking along here would run into the tree -this car is not making the pavement any narrower


Yet it appears to have a ticket. Why? What has it done?

Nothing -it's only a warning. False alarm. That's all right then. Clearly the car R455ORU will feel suitably victimised and complain about harassment.

Incidentally, this photo was taken in the morning; this is probably not a commuter. A resident? Forced to park on the pavement by all the commuters and shopopers blocking the road? Perhaps the alternative would have been to walk.
