Rycroft Way, HALE (TH) CPZ
« on: »
Hello, this is a repost from the old forms, can someone please advice on this PCN.

There is a football stadium near by (about 1mile), sign says event days parking times are different. It was a Sunday and driver doesn't live in the area so checked if there were any games for the local team, assumed not, but actually there was an event (NFL game) so hence the error. I am not the driver, but offered to help (driver has lost his father recently and hence visit was to a community centre near by). Is there anything that can be done as was a genuine mistake.

As well as the sign shown, there should be signs at all entrances to the Events Zone giving the date of the next event. So if your friend can give us his route to the location we'll have a look.  He could submit reps stating that he never say any sign for the date of the next event.  They'll have to prove they did if it gets to adjudication.

I've asked him and as per this map, he entered from south Tottenham, high road.

Access to Rycroft Way is via Chesnut Road (no middle 't' !) : -
https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5910871,-0.069554,3a,16.8y,81.95h,95.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBHjrvhN8Fti33iSrI3EmvA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?authuser=0&entry=ttu
Note the large sign with the parking restrictions and also, at the bottom, when the next event is. There is no other motor vehicle access to Rycroft Way, it is all one-way streets.

So unless that sign did not have the date of the next event, your friend looks bang-to-rights.

Please give us the number plate and PCN number so that we can do some basic checks. In the meantime I'll find out if the council can prove what sign was displayed at the location identified by Incandescent.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. PCN is ZN09554826, REG: EK54WCD

I spoke to the driver, and he's unsure if such a sign was there. I guess if nothing is possible I can informally challenge on the basis of compassion due to the circumstances of the driver.

It could take until 6 November for me to get the photos from the council, so in the meantime it's worth putting something in even if just to preserve the discount.

What compassionate grounds did you have in mind? Please put a draft of what you want to send on here for review.

Thanks. I'll help him make an informal challenge in a day or two. I wanted to write something up stating he did not see the sign while entering and the visit was related to bereaving his recent loss of his father (he was visiting a community centre to meet people who came to give their condolences).

Here is what I have so far, Please can you let me know if there is any errors or if you can improve:

Hello, I do not live in the area and did not fully understand event days, as it was a Sunday, after parking and attending a local community centre near by I asked whether there was a football match which I was informed the local team was not playing so I assumed there was no event. Unfortunately there was an "NFL" match instead of a normal football match, hence the misinformation and confusion.

I have been informed that there is usually a sign upon entry indicating if there is an event however I did not see this sign and believe this sign was not present.

The purpose of my visit was to meet people coming to pay their condolences to me and my family for our recent loss of our father. My father attended this community centre and we organized to meet here, which was planned in haste. I would kindly like to ask your understanding in this time of bereaving our father, the unexpected circumstances and mitigating the situation.

Looks OK to me, but do be aware that heads of council parking departments are chosen on the hardness of their hearts. Granite is the favoured material. (OK only joking !).  Hope you succeed !!

Not yet did the informal challenge, should he proceed and I guess cut out the assumption the sign was not there?

Not sure what you mean by "should he proceed", if he's make an informal challenge all he can do is wait for the response.

Of course the other question is whether that sign was adequate, which of course is debatable.

I meant in the sense that if there's nothing wrong with it or further to add or adjust in the writing.

It is kind of small, yes.

Here's what was sent.

I would kindly request mitigating the situation and your understanding in this time of bereaving our father, as it was completely unexpected.

Well if he's already sent it it's a bit late to add anything. At the notice to owner stage, we can look at this again.

No response as of yet...

What usually happens? I presume a response comes via email and also by post right? Is there anything he should watch out for? I've asked if he received any emails and he has not, nor any post.

Apologies to bump. Can someone explain how this works. It's been about 3 weeks since making an informal challenge and no response. How long do they have?
