Hi All
I got a PCN for this very spot in Newham Council. I made a representation/Appeal through the council's website, for which I got the confirmation reference number and all(auto reply email). I made the representation in mid-June'25, and today to my surprise I received a Charge Notice, saying that the penalty amount has now increased by 50% to GBP240, since I did not pay the original within the stipulated time.
I am a bit surprised, shocked and angry all at the same time as I was expecting a response to appeal first of all. The Charge Notice does not have any contact details of the council or anything and I can't go through the council's website to appeal against the Charge Notice or anything. It may well be an administrative error on the council's part but only they know, we are simply victims of their 'innocence'. Also the Charge Notice is demanding the payment of the penalty within 14 days of the Notice Date (i.e. 21st August 2025), where as I only received it through post today 27th August.
Any advice on what I should do would be much appreciated.
