Rotherham Council PCN - (27) Parked in a special enforcement area adjacent to a dropped kerb

I'm not normally one for grand statements in reps or, in this case, follow-up correspondence, but short of banging their heads together what can one do to resolve these issues at the earliest stage?

I agree about going back to try and shortcut the process but not with the full artillery after an informal rejection and prefer a more educational approach.

The point is moot anyway since they don't seem to want any dialogue following the letter. Still waiting for something through the post. I'll update when it comes

What they want is not the issue.

Be passive or assertive, your choice.

Yeah I get that, I mean there's no way to contact them since they e-mailed me their response from a no-reply e-mail address.

@Hippocrates..you're in to dodgy websites at the moment, ....

....try this for size!

No need for impatience and thread clutter. The NTO is next.

Not had anything through the post so far - Does it usually take so long?

They can be very dilatory in serving the Notice to Owner. In law they have up to 6 months to serve it from date of alleged contravention. Anything over 3 months, though, is usually regarded as unfair, so grounds for an appeal.

The PCN was dated 4th Sept wasn't it? So be patient the NTO will arrive some time in October.

Bingo - NTO arrived today.

Here's a link to the full notice. I assume I tick the box saying that the notice is invalid and include the previous information relating to the exception?

Just a bump on this as my time to reply to the NTO is limited

You can use the letter Mr Anderson did - I would tweak it a bit as reps to the NTO.

I am making representations on the grounds that the contravention not occur.

In your letter you reference the parking bays in the area and do not dispute that my car was parked in one. I draw your attention to the following exemption to the contravention set out in law.

etc

Just an update that this was eventually cancelled by Rotherham Council - Thank you all for your help

Well done you !!
