Author Topic: Newham PCN - parking contravention (code 12) - need help on how to appeal please  (Read 1777 times)

0 Members and 2 Guests are viewing this topic.

hi,

this past Saturday i drove to Chandos road near Stratford (it's within Newham council) and park my car at one of the designated parking bay at around 10.30am, i triple check the parking sign which says permit holder Mon-Fri and believe i can park there given it is a Saturday.
However, when i came back at around 2.45pm, i got a PCN per the picture attached, mentioning i have a parking contravention (code 12), can you please help me with below questions?

1. the PCN only mentions code 12, but it is not clear to me the exact reason for this PCN simply based on the parking sign, also strangely there is a solid white line inside the parking bay (a little bit like zig zag line but how can it be inside a parking bay??) Does it have anything to do with the PCN? or is event date the only reason?

2. if event date is indeed the reason for this PCN, then how am i supposed to know if there is any event near the area, plus what is defined as an 'event'?? shouldn't there be more explicit sign postings near the parking bay to warn / remind drivers who want to park there to think twice?

3. lastly has anyone tried to appeal against similar cases before and what grounds should i use? for e.g. i have never had any traffic offence in the area before, can this be used hoping for an exception here?

many thanks!

For meaningful advice please to have a read of
https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/read-this-first-before-posting-your-case!-this-section-is-for-council-tfl-dartme/

and to post up here both sides of the unredacted PCN with a GSV link to the location, and also any Council photos (these last may not appear on the Council website until Monday).

thanks for reminding the rules, i have amended the original post now with all the details, can you / someone please kindly advise soon?

1. how do i know for sure if Event date is the reason for this PCN (given permit holder applies during weekday only)? also strangely there is a solid white line inside the parking bay (a little bit like zig zag line but how can it be inside a parking bay??) Does it have anything to do with the PCN? or is event date the only reason?

This reads like a repeat of your existing thread

so have asked mod to merge/delete.

There have been cases for Newham event days here before and far more on the now defunct predecessor forum.
But I'm not sure how to search this forum?

Here are your earlier threads, which have been merged.

hi all

can anyone help me out please?

thanks, do you happen to remember the rough success rate from those cases?

No, I just remember that far more members were interested in such cases. Perhpas the problem is your post title/ I don't see 'event day' mentioned anywhere.

Do you now understand, between here and facebook, why you got a pcn?
Do you also understand what issues are relevant?

hi, no i still dont know the exact reason for this pcn (assuming event day restriction is the most likely reason though).

can you or anyone else help here please?

many thanks
