Dear all, below is a draft. Would this be ok or it is better to quote the exact legal clause in making a respresentation? I think I am approaching the end of 28 day period. Following HCA's advice, I can't find the exact clause in Regulation 10 about the time. This is the link I used for reading through the exact clauses. However, the points about time is not found in this link...
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2007/3483/regulation/10/madeFormal Representation Against PCN [BH89007150] for Vehicle [Vehicle Registration Number]
I am writing to formally challenge the above Penalty Charge Notice (BH89007150) issued on 22/10/2025 for an alleged contravention of Code 40 - Parked in a designated disabled bay without displaying a valid Blue Badge.
The basis for my challenge is that the evidence provided by the council does not prove the contravention occurred at the time stated on the PCN.
The PCN states the contravention took place at 08:53am. However, the photographic evidence supplied with the PCN shows the following:
1. Image 1, 2(Timestamp 08:52:): Shows my vehicle at the location.
2. Image 3 (Timestamp 08:53): Shows the disabled bay is vacant. My vehicle is not present.
This evidence clearly demonstrates that my vehicle was not parked in the disabled bay at 08:53am, the precise time cited for the contravention.
For a Penalty Charge Notice to be upheld, the council must provide conclusive evidence that proves the contravention on the balance of probabilities. The timestamps on your own photographs create a direct contradiction with the details on the PCN. The image from 08:53am, in particular, proves my vehicle was not committing the contravention at that time.
Therefore, as the core allegation on the PCN is not supported by the evidence, I request that you cancel the PCN.
I have attached a copy of the PCN and have annotated the provided photographs for clarity. I look forward to your confirmation that this penalty charge has been cancelled.
