Author Topic: Newham PCN contravention code 25 parked in a loading place or bay during restricted hours without loading  (Read 393 times)

Hi all,

Sorry to be here again, even though it's been a while. I have been extremely good with parking, until today.

I received an extremely wet PCN on my vehicle after parking in a shared loading/ parking bay with different timings. Unfortunately I failed to notice the different times.

Upon trying to carefully open the ticket which was extremely wet because of a sudden downpour or rain I have noticed vital information missing from the ticket (namely the PCN number and part of my registration number) which I do not intend to guess (or should I?).

I will attach pictures of the ticket which was placed in a degradable paper packaging. The ticket ripped when trying to unfold the soaked ticket.

Please advise me what to do at this stage. Any advice will be appreciated, thank you.

It's not too bad but the PCN number is a bit hard to see but can be gleaned better from the tear slip but that's not part of the PCN.

Council pics not up yet.

Does anyone think this is worth a shot on the state of the PCN - I couldn't get the PCN number right until I checked the bottom of the barcode and realised the first number is a 3.




TBH, I don't think it is a winner on its own. I would think most adjudicators would consider that the UK weather being what it is, incidents are bound to happen from time to time, and there is, of course, the Notice to Owner, sent by post. An adjudicator may well say, "why didn't you ring the council to find out the PCN number if the weather had obscured it"

I've had parking tickets in the past but never in a paper package before, I do think it's a funny considering it is Britain and was probably raining at the time the ticket was put on the car.

I was quite surprised to see the state of the ticket seeing it hadn't been a long time since I left. Do they expect people to chase parking tickets to collect missing information? Wondering if I should wait for the NTO and then appeal based on the state of the ticket/ missing information. Do you think they may still offer the discount seeing that the ticket was missing vital information needed to pay?

Thanks for your replies x

Council will say they're saving the planet by using paper not plastic envelopes. Yeah, right !
