52M Failing to comply (Windmill Drive) Lambeth Council
« on: »
Hi,
I’m looking for advice on a Lambeth PCN from Sunday, 4th January 2026.

Checking the status today (26th Jan), the fine is still £80. It seems the 50% discount is still active, likely until 2nd February. Having revisited the site, I believe I have grounds to contest based on the signage, but I’m mindful of @hippo-crates’s previous advice regarding Lambeth’s specific timing and notification tactics.

Should I proceed with a challenge, and are there any specific technicalities regarding Lambeth's 14-day count I should be aware of?

I intend to use the Lambeth Online Challenge Portal. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Does this help

I’ve uploaded pages 1 and 2. The photos can be viewed through the links provided on the PCN (Lambeth website).Page 3 shows the payment information. The date of the contravention is 4th Jan and the date of the PCN is listed as 13th January 2025. I’m not certain when it arrived, but counting 14 working days from the PCN date gives 2nd February.It seems they don’t allow any extra day for postal delivery, which feels a bit abrupt. I’m unsure whether the increase applies on 2nd February or after it, so I plan to pay on 1st February unless someone advises that I have grounds to challenge it. That’s basically what “chaseman” mentioned in another post about Windmill Drive.

I believe it's not possible as my post has no traction.

If you do not challenge, you join "The Mugged Club".

cp8759 and mrmustard are true geniuses. I know my place in the hierarchy of The Three Musketeers. 😊 "The Clinician", "The Gentleman" and "The Showman"

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.
