Change "kindly urge" to " therefore request". Apart from that, it looks OK. You'll need a separate letter from the keeper authorising you to act on his behalf. You could send this as a pdf file attachment.

2. Evidence Inconclusive due to Image Quality:
  Upon reviewing the images provided by the Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO), it is evident that the terms and conditions board, crucial for determining the legality of parking, is depicted in an unreadable and blurry manner. This lack of clarity raises significant doubts regarding the accuracy and reliability of the evidence presented. Without clear and legible evidence, it is unjust to uphold the Penalty Charge Notice.
@The Haj do not include this!

The last thing you want to do is warn them now of the flaws in their evidence, as they could just send someone round to get a better picture. This sort of argument must always be kept in reserve for the tribunal hearing, where you can bring it up and it's too late for the council to do anything about 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.

Hi all, quick update on this..

So I emailed my appeal to Ealing Council on 29th April. I immediately got a response advising that they have received it and to expect a reply within 30 days..

So here we are mid-June, over 40 days since the email and still nothing back. Should i follow up or leave it be? Is there time limit to these things?

Legally they have 56 calendar days to serve a response.

At this point there's no harm in chasing a response. If you don't get anywhere, we can go down the formal complaint route.

Hi cp8759,

Thanks for the response

I just noticed that i actually chased them up already on the 17th June... no response to that of course. Is it worth another chaser email?

Not sure what is going on with them..

If you chased on the 17th I'd wait at least 2 / 3 weeks before chasing again.

Pl confirm you enclosed a letter of authorisation from the registered keeper.

Hi all ,

Still no word from Ealing Council, follow up was sent on 17th June and initial appeal sent 29th April. This is odd no?

I also appealed a second PCN which they haven't responded to yet either, but still have a week left on that for a response within 30 days but looks unlikely.. have they closed down or something?!!
