Free Traffic Legal Advice

I am unsure whether to go for a personal hearing or not?

NEVER, ever, opt for a decision on papers. Always for a personal hearing (telephone or face-to-face). The appellany can then answer any questions from the Adjudicator and make any points he needs to raise.


Begin your wording with something like
I rely on my earlier representations and this summary...
then end with something like
There may well be further points I wish to make in response to the authority's Evidence Pack...

and not make it seem that I had researched things

I suspect most adjudicators would have expected most appellants to research things.

If you cannot submit online, the post 1st class at any post office and get a (free) proof of posting.


Keep a hard copy of the completed appeal form.

You can do it by phone, and ask for a new date if you can't make it as long as you give them notice.

Thanks for the advice, stamfordman and John - doing it by phone would be the best solution as it means I can remain local when I need to be making plans about moving.
Thanks too for the advice about posting letters, John.

Success! TFL have decided not to contest the appeal and have cancelled the PCN!

The restrictions in place O/S 485-493 Bromley Road BR1 are:
 
No Stopping Mon-Sat 7am - 7pm Except 7am-4pm parking 1 hour No return within 2 hours
 
The signage in place was initially reported missing on 2 November 2023 and was replaced with incorrect signage on 8 November 2023. This was reported as incorrect and changed to No Stopping Mon-Sat 7am - 7pm Except 10am-7pm parking 1 hour No return within 2 hours on 27 June 2024. It should be noted, as the signage in place is incorrect, maintenance is in progress to correct it.
 
I have been advised that the signage in place was incorrect on the date you incurred a PCN, and this has therefore been cancelled.

This is a shame as I was looking forward to the hearing! I hope other people have not just paid up!
Thanks again to all who helped!
 

Thanks - it's just a pity that the process had tom go this far!

Thanks - how could I do that? I'm certainly willing to make a complaint.
