Hi all,
Re: PCN ZN17442001
I recently made a no right turn as I needed to collect something from the alleyway situated just inside the no right turn and as I was looking out for the alleyway and spotted it very late, I had already passed the no right turn signs that eluded my attention and made a sharp right turn towards the destination.
I had a PCN cancelled due to the help of Hippocrates but have not been able to get in contact with him and wanted some advice from here.
The information that I was advised to write for the previous contravention:
(52(M) Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle (motor vehicles)
‘The PCN wrongly states which action triggers the period in which the council may serve a charge certificate: “If the Penalty Charge is not paid before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this notice an increased charge of £195.00 maybe payable. We may then send you a Charge Certificate.” The law states at Schedule 1 5:
1)Where a penalty charge notice is served on any person and the penalty charge to which it relates is not paid before the end of the relevant period, the enforcing authority may serve on that person a statement (in this paragraph referred to as a “charge certificate”) to the effect that the penalty charge in question is increased by 50 per cent.
(2)The relevant period, in relation to a penalty charge notice is the period of 28 days beginning—
(a)where no representations are made under paragraph 1 above, with the date on which the penalty charge notice is served;
In light of the above, the PCN is invalid and unenforceable.’
This PCN (ZN17442001) has the same wording as the previous cancelled PCN.
My question is, should I send an appeal with the same wording and explain the reason why I turned into South Grove, or not mention the reason for turning and just send the above statement?
And, should I send it within the 14 day reduction period?
Many thanks,
Its_a_Cracker
