Are there any further advice on this?
Should I wait for NTK regardless and hope to get the fee reduced back to £70 in the worst case, or not worth wasting time?

I think this should be paid on Wednesday to qualify as an early payment..

Previously @Hippocrates helped to cancel the PCN due to reasons for appeal not sufficient on the website however they corrected it. I don't know if there would be any other grounds for appeal.

The 14-day period for making a risk-free* challenge and payment of the discount ends today, 22 Apr(14 days beginning on 9th, not from 9th).

I'd make simple reps that you understood that parking with 2 wheels on the footway was allowed in the road as you have seen cars doing this on a regular basis. If you are wrong then you apologise and would ask the authority to exercise discretion and cancel as this is your first** PCN.


*- you haven't posted the back of the PCN, so I'm assuming that this provision - which is commonplace- is included.

**- if true.

You could include:

I believe the contravention may not in case have occurred as you have probably passed a resolution disapplying the footway parking ban on Hall Place Crescent given the presence of such parking elsewhere in the road.

Please confirm the existence of this resolution and its extent in considering my challenge.

Based on @cp8759's documents posted on a similar subject about Bexley council, it doesn't look like this road was applied a resolution, happy to be corrected though if I missed anything.

It is interesting that there is no mention of Hall Pl Crescent in the documents, although this road has marked bays half on the footway where vehicles can park and must be exempt from footway parking restrictions, mustn't it?

E mail received. The website is now fixed so that angle is not possible.
@Incandescent!

I AM ABLE TO TAKE ON MORE CASES AS A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LONDON TRIBUNALS. I HATE RETIREMENT.


If you do not challenge, you join "The Mugged Club".

cp8759 and mrmustard are true geniuses. I know my place in the hierarchy of The Three Musketeers. 😊 "The Clinician", "The Gentleman" and "The Showman"

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

Draft representation:

Dear London Borough of Bexley,

Footway parking is allowed on Hall Place Crescent, there are numerous parking bays painted partly on the footpath and and no signs indicate that footway parking is permitted only within those bays. In the circumstances I contend that the contravention did not occur because there must be a footway parking resolution allowing footway parking on this road, if you believe I have contravened the terms of that resolution then I ask that you supply a copy.

Yours faithfully,

Take a screenshot of the confirmation page. You cannot rely on some other footway parking resolution for some other location, as there is likely a different one for this location, but it's still up to the council to produce it.
I practice law in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, London Tribunals, the First-tier tribunal for Scotland, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for Northern Ireland, but I am not a solicitor or a barrister. Notwithstanding this, I voluntarily apply the cab rank rule. I am a member of the Society of Professional McKenzie Friends, my membership number is FM193 and I abide by the SPMF service standards.

Thanks @cp8759.

@cesur well we don't know the area, so you're in a better position than us to confirm or deny the presence of signage. If there are no signs that state "in marked bays" then the requirement does not exist, see these cases:

Lorna Jennifer Whittick v London Borough of Merton (2160383659, 10 October 2016)
Aliecee Cummings v London Borough of Lewisham (219023696A, 18 July 2019)
Yasmin Robinson v London Borough of Redbridge (221007511A, 29 March 2021)
Mohammed Islam v London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (2200513505, 25 March 2021)

The council won't appreciate that, but that's because they're stupid.

Assuming there are no such signs, just wait for the notice to owner.
