Good evening,
I have received the below response from Haringey council. Sorry I couldn't find how to upload a pdf, and will try again if you require. They included a couple of photos that we have already seen. Please advise how I should proceed. Thank you very much for your help.
Dear *****
Penalty Charge Notice (parking ticket) number:ZN13555185
Date of contravention: 29 August 2024
Location: Wargrave Avenue, STH TOT (ST) CPZ
Vehicle registration: MC51OFZ
Thank you for writing to us.
We have carefully considered what you say but we have decided not to cancel your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
There is a sign where you parked that explains that the bay you parked in is for people with a resident's permit.
You were issued a PCN for parking without a valid resident's permit. The Civil Enforcement Officer
(CEO) checked their handheld computer which showed no valid permit for your vehicle.
I have noted your comments. While I appreciate your concerns, it is important to note that the presence of clear and visible signage in the area is required by law, but the photographs taken by the CEO are not required to include the vehicle and the sign at the same time. The purpose of the photographs is to document the vehicle's position and any relevant aspects of the contravention. Both CEO notes and photos indicate where the vehicle was parked. Having reviewed CEO photos of the sign it appears the sign was visible and not obstructed.
Please be advised that it is the driver's responsibility to ensure that they read all signage and observe all road markings before parking to ensure they are in the intended location and that they adhere to the restrictions.
You can view photographic evidence of your case by using the Council’s Parking Ticket viewer
which you will find online at
https://www.haringey.gov.uk/parking You have these choices:
• You can pay the discount charge of £65.00 if your payment reaches us within 14 days of the date of service of this letter.
• You can pay £130.00 within 28 days of the date your PCN was issued.
• You can formally challenge your PCN by using a Notice to Owner form. The vehicle's owner
will automatically receive the form if the PCN has not been paid within 28 days of being issued.
The form offers you the chance to formally challenge your PCN or pay the full £130.00. If you decide to formally challenge your PCN, please do not write to us again but wait until the Notice to Owner form arrives.

• By internet: Go to
