NOTICE OF REJECTION
Penalty Charge Notice: MT01121049, MT01121435
Environment and Traffic Adjudicator Verification Code: 76J514
Contravention Date: 19/05/2025 at 09:11 Vehicle Registration: NYN724
Location: MURRAY ROAD, WIMBLEDON (VOT)

Thank you for writing to us.

I have investigated the circumstances raised in your correspondence and have made the
decision to not cancel your notices. The reasons for my decision are set out below, along
with the options available to you at this stage.

The Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) was issued to you because your vehicle was seen parked
in a suspended parking bay/place or part of a suspended parking bay/place.

Whilst it is noted that you state that no works took place and that the signage did not go up
on that day shown, please note that regardless of whether works had taken place the bay
was suspended and I have checked our records and your vehicle was not present when the
suspension signs were erected on the day shown on the suspension sign. Also as you had
parked after the suspension signs had went up both of these PCNs are valid as the drivers
must observe the relevant signage that is in place prior to leaving their vehicle especially for
multiple days, therefore both PCNs are valid and we are unable to cancel.

Furthermore we also note that you have stated that the signs were not covered making the
suspension invalid, however please note that the suspension sign shows that the bay is
being suspended. Therefore the suspension as well as the PCNs remain valid.

You can view photographic evidence of this PCN online at: www.merton.gov.uk/pcn.

You have these choices:
• The full fine of £160.00 is now due. To date you have paid £0.00, the balance of
£160.00 is outstanding. You can pay £160.00 within the period of 28 days beginning
with the date of service of this Notice of Rejection.
• Appeal to the Parking Adjudicator using the enclosed form. The Adjudicator can ask one
side to pay costs if he or she believes, for example, that they have been vexatious,
frivolous or wholly unreasonable. However, the Adjudicator rarely asks either side to pay
costs. The Adjudicator is independent and both sides must accept the Adjudicator's
decision. For more information about the Adjudicator please visit

If you do nothing
If you take none of the above actions in the timescale shown, we may send you a Charge
Certificate increasing the charge from £160.00 to £240.00. If you do not pay the increased
charge before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the date of the Charge
Certificate being served we may apply to the County Court to recover the money - plus court
costs - from you
