Free Traffic Legal Advice

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?

It is a hire vehicle

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,

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.

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

The draft representation has been sent over to Lambeth council.

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.
