I gave you the arithmetic, but forgot to mention that the council's second 28 days is from the date of cancellation of the first PCN. So I think you do have a second string to your representations bow of "PCN served out of time". The council will then have to explain their tardiness in serving the second PCN. It's not a slam-dunk argument, though, just another hoop for them to jump through !

I always say make the bug***s do at least some work !!

Thanks all for your help and guidance. I've now submitted my Reps, slightly amended from my draft above so I could make reference to the 88 day delay between alleged contravention and PCN issue (albeit it via the leasing company in the first instance).

I'll be back with an update but given that a) I didn't fail to comply with a one-way restriction and b) the excessive notice delay, I can only expect an early positive outcome - barring any devilment on behalf of the issuing council... in which case it will be appealed

Don't expect them to roll over and cancel because they won't. London councils ruthlessly game the system to maximise their income by refusing all reps however valid they are. Basically, people are ignorant of parking and traffic law detail, so if reps are refused, >95% of people then just cough-up to get the discount. People are also terrified of going to adjudication, thinking it will cost them a packet of money, whereas the maximum amount possible is the full PCN penalty, there being no other costs whatsoever.
