Below is the link to the partial blacked out NoR.   The first page is blacked out completely. Don't know why!
It's happened before and cannot figure out why.
That's why I had to copy and paste the NoR details yesterday.

If it's like London Tribunals you can just register the appeal and send details later.

Often you can just say 'I rely on my representations' but you have dragged things out til the last minute.

I would appeal:

The council still insists on enforcing the display of an invalid permit, when in fact it was partially obscured - in which case the correct contravention is not displaying a valid permit.

In their notice of rejection they say:

"I can advise that your vehicle had been parked in a ‘permit holders C only’ bay without a valid permit with clearly shown details on display."

This surely concedes the wrong contravention and the appeal must be upheld.

The council also did not respond to my representation that it made an unlawful demand for payment of a higher rate penalty in its rejection of my informal challenge. On this point too the appeal must be upheld.

The NOR says 'You should appeal within 28 days of delivery etc' so is OK presumbly.

I would just send what I drafted for you. This has always been about only £25, so it's not worth worrying about much. 

Appeal lodged with TPT 26th September and acknowledgement received.
I would appreciate a detailed submission to update my current submission.
Thanks

Update the council responded/ provided evidence to appeal TPT on 10.10.25.


I have only just seen the email and logged into the portal to check their evidence.


Please I need urgent help in responding to this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

See response below.

This statement is submitted in response to Jojo's appeal
against the Penalty Charge Notice issued for parking in a permit space without displaying a valid permit during prescribed hours.

Ms Wilson's argument that she had displayed, albeit partially obscured, and is the holder of a valid permit to park in a designated parking area, is not upheld by the photographic evidence taken at the time of the contravention as this permit was obscured to the point that no relevant details (expiry date, zone, vehicle registration) could be seen, by a permit for Croydon (not valid in Medway), the permit is not, therefore,  clearly displayed for inspection by the Civil Enforcement Officer and becomes invalid.

The terms & conditions of the permit clearly state ' The permit is only valid if displayed in a conspicuous position on the front windscreen of the vehicle for which it was issued. A Penalty Charge Notice will be issued for not displaying a valid permit or not displaying it clearly to enable verification'


In summary, the contravention is clearly observed in the photographic evidence, specifically Item 2. The vehicle is clearly parked without claerly displaying a valid permit for the space where it was parked, which constitutes a breach of the relevant regulations. The explanations provided by the appellant do not align with the legal requirements or the evidence available.

In conclusion, the contravention is supported by clear visual evidence, and no mitigating circumstances have been provided that would warrant cancellation of the Penalty Charge Notice. The Council respectfully requests that the appeal be refused.
