Penalty Charge Notice (parking ticket) number:IY01946642 Date of contravention: 22 May 2026 Location: RAYNERS LANE(Stn-Suffk Rd) Vehicle registration: WJ72KHF
Thank you for writing to us. 13 Jul 2026 We have carefully considered what you say but we have decided not to cancel your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). You were issued a PCN because part of your vehicle was outside the white lines of the parking bay. You are not allowed to park like this even if you have paid to park, are displaying an item correctly (for example a permit, Pay & Display ticket or disabled badge) or other cars have not left you enough room. Although one incorrectly parked car can make the next space too small for anyone else to use, we enforce the rule across both spaces. We do this to stop a knock-on effect of further cars parking incorrectly, reducing the available parking space even more. A payment to park is not valid if the vehicle is not parked correctly. Not parking correctly within a marked bay can cause inconvenience to pedestrians and other motorists. Parking bays are clearly marked with solid white lines. It remains the responsibility of the driver to ensure that they are parked wholly within a bay before leaving the vehicle unattended.
You have these choices: • You can pay the discount charge of £55.00 if your payment reaches us within 14 days of the date of this letter.
• You can pay £110.00 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 £110.00. If you decide to formally challenge your PCN, please do not write to us again but wait until the Notice to Owner form arrives.
