Peterborough Council 01 Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours, car colour wrong

Dear moderator/readers,

Having previously received a Charge Certificate for a PCN issued by post which was not received, on advice from this forum I waited service of the Order for Recovery. Subsequently, I submitted a Witness Statement to the Traffic Enforcement Centre citing the grounds of 'Did not receive the PCN/NTO. This happened twice so witness statement was submitted two time.

Now i finally received PCN on 22nd August. attached.

Need to do representation and need your advise.

i was parked for couple of mints to pick an item from shop.

The evidence from council shows no signage of restrictions.

Please advise further what will be next course of action.

Regards,

Couple of more photos of same PCN.

Topic re-united with original thread.

Please post a GSV link to the location.

You are on a double-yellow line which means "No Waiting" 24x7, and needs no signs. Colour of car irrelevant.

At last, you're back on the regulatory track.

Your account doesn't suggest that you have a defence against the contravention i.e. you were parked on 24/7 DYL without an exemption applying e.g. displaying a valid BB, loading/unloading/collecting/delivering goods which could not have been effected without parking where you did etc. IMO, collecting medicine/prescription from a pharmacy doesn't meet this test and there's no evidence in the photos of you returning with such a load.

In these cases IMO you have to look at procedural issues, in your case whether a PCN was being prepared when you drove off or whether all that the CEO had done was activities preparatory to creating a PCN.

You were there, we weren't, and your account is thin on this point. 

Thanks for submitting in same post,
 

The PCN was issued when I left the scene. I did spoke to issuer who was still in process of taking photos, but he refused to listen so I drove away.

Regards,


 

Is it normal in PCN

Time of contravention   15:01
Observation from        15:01
Observation to          15:01

Yes, afraid so, and legal too. Observation periods are not mandated by law.

what about boarding and alighting in this case. when out and return to car.

Boarding and alighting who ? There is an exemption to yellow lines for boarding and alighting passengers. Where the passenger is vulnerable, (child, disabled etc) and must be accompanied to/from a safe place, then tbis is called "assisted boarding" and is also exempt. You have to prove the exemption applies.
