Going through 'No vehicle' signs during deliveries

Hi,

Appealing these on behalf of a friend who delivers food for a delivery food service.

He has received these tickets for entering streets where no motor vehicles are allowed.

These are streets uber delivery app has guided him through to complete the deliveries to the addresses.

Is there any grounds of appeal?

First things first, is the vehicle leased or hired, or does your friend have the V5C?

If it is, we can look at the transfer of liability. If it isn't, at least one of those PCNs is out of time.

It is a hire vehicle

Long term lease, or short term hire? There's a big difference.

The TMO for CU63855570 is The Camden (Prescribed Routes) (No. 5) (Part 2) Traffic Order 2020, I'm not aware of any issues with it but someone else may spot something.

In the meantime I'll get hold of the other traffic orders.

Draft representation for Lambeth PCN LJ23956180:

---

Dear London Borough of Lambeth,

I challenge liability for PCN LJ23956180 on the grounds that the penalty exceeds the amount due in the circumstances of the case. This is because the penalty charge states that the penalty must be paid within 28 days from the date of service, and that the discounted rate is available for 14 days from the date of the notice.

Both the period are wrong, as under the applicable legislation they run from the date of the notice and not the date of service.

As the PCN is not compliant with the legislation, the only penalty that may be demanded is nil.

Yours faithfully,

It is short term hire which is paid weekly.

We need to see a copy of the hire agreement then, this could turn out to be an easy win. Just redact name / address / licence number.

Here's The Camden (Queens Crescent) Traffic Order 2022.

So where's the hire agreement?

I am awaiting on the hire agreement, hopefully will be given by tomorrow.

The draft representation has been sent over to Lambeth council.

The TMO for Harmood Street is The Camden (Prescribed Routes) (No. 3) Traffic Order 2022.

The TMO for Jamestown Road is The Camden (Arlington Road Low Traffic Neighbourhood) Traffic Order 2022.

Here is The Lambeth (Prescribed Routes) (No. 7) Traffic Order 2022, which covers Sandmere Road.

@privates what's happened with all these PCNs? I think I've advised you before that you can't just sit back and wait, given the problems you've had with the post before the burden is on you to check the council website at regular intervals to see if there's any updates.
