Hi Everyone,

Not sure how to tag users so I hope this reaches you all.

I appreciate there are multiple on going cases but just want to know if I have all the necessary information here to go ahead and draft an appeal.

Thanks,

I would send the below.

---------

The contravention did not occur.

The council alleges I was in contravention of an off-street restriction but there is no terms board establishing that the garage area is an off-street car park, and which would lawfully set out terms and conditions for parking.

In any case there was no obstruction of access to the garages.

I look forward to early confirmation of cancellation of this PCN.

The council has responded.

“ We have carefully considered your comments, but we have decided not to cancel your PCN.You were issued a PCN for causing an obstruction. In a car park with marked spaces or areas, you need to park so that your entire vehicle is inside these lines. If there are no marked spaces or areas, you need to park so that other cars, pedestrians and emergency vehicles will be able to move freely.”

So they say what you need to do but where is the terms board that tells you this? Where is any information that tells you this is a car park managed by Southwark?

I would go on with this but the stakes are high with the extra Ł80 so see what others say.

Choices 2 and 3 on the rejection are also nonsense as they refer to dates already gone.

The other factor is the sign that says permit holders parking beyond this point, which you complied with and in fact signifies an on-street permit parking area not an off-street car park.

Did they send you any instructions about using the permit?
