Free Traffic Legal Advice

The NTO please and all the council's photos.

Some adjudicators accept that proof of service is not established when there are photos, none of which show the PCN having been served.

But on the other hand, the driver might have driven away before a PCN could be served, but we'll find out when we see the NTO i.e. if it's a 'drive-away' PCN it'll say so.

Thanks.

A routine NTO.


So, we need to look at substantive issues as regards the contravention and procedural matters e.g. was a PCN served? A single photo without the PCN or traffic sign seems a tad odd.

So, from your first post I take it that you were you the driver and that the car was parked without payment of the parking charge (because you said you would have paid had you found a PCN).

So, pl set out the circumstances and give us a link to the actual location so that we can see the relevant sign.

You have until 11 June to make formal reps, so no rush.

OP, we do need to know exactly where the car was parked on High Road, Woodford Green, so please post-up a GSV view telling us exactly where.

You have shown a record of payment being made and the end-of-session time is well after the PCN time stated on the NtO. The location on the PbP app is the same as on the NtO. So where is the problem ? Well, is the reg number for the vehicle correctly entered. (a 'O' letter, instead of a 0 zero for instance).

It was parked here. I have checked everything. Number plate was correct, time was correct. There doesnt seem to be an issue.

Indeed there doesn't, so you now need to submit reps on the basis that payment was made to park from <time> to <time>, and include a copy of the PbP app receipt for payment. Post up their response when you get it. CEOs do make mistakes even though the council will never admit it !

Thanks. I have already appealed this one. I will let you know what they say
