Hey @cp8759 - so the council have got back to me with a response to my representation against the NtO. They have refused to cancel the PCN on the grounds that my vehicle was not parked in a designated bay but on a yellow cross-hatched area, which the highway code states is not allowed.

HERE is the full response they have emailed to me.

Advice on the best course of action now would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Well the response is utter drivel and as they've not reoffered the discount, there's no point in paying now because even if you appeal and lose, the penalty stays the same. That being said, I think you're more likely than not to win.

Thank you. I agree - the letter also has grammatical errors and mistakes in and doesn't really address any of the points brought up throughout the process. Also as you say, I have nothing to lose from trying now as the fine is already being held at the full amount.

I know from reading through the forum it is often best to request a personal hearing rather than postal. Do you think I would be best served seeking someone more experienced to appeal on my behalf, or is this something I should do myself?

I would post any draft of the Details of Appeal cover letter section here before sending off as I have very much found the advice you and others have given helpful so far I'm this process.

Thanks again.

Was there a covering email message with the 'NOR' attachment?

THIS is the email they sent acknowledging my representation against the NtO.

THIS is the email they sent with the attachment of their rejection to my representation.

Is this what you mean? I have kept all documentation carefully so can provide more if needed. Thanks!

Outcome.
