Title: Re: Richmond - 12S Shared Bay without ticket - Incorrect Street Name
Post by: Blackbird7 on May 03, 2026, 01:27:27 pm

Thanks incandescent.

If it helps, I believe the square is called “Richmond Green”, and it’s surrounded by three roads; The Green, Portland Terrace and Pembroke Villas.

PCN location was “The Green Richmond” but vehicle was parked on and GPS logged by the CEO on “Pembroke Villas”. I’m hoping “The Green Richmond” implies “The Green,  Richmond” rather than the square, for example the address of the pub on The Green street is “28 The Green, Richmond”, but the address of the houses on Pembroke are “x Pembroke Villas, Richmond”.

Thanks!

Whilst wrong location is normally fatal to a PCN being enforced, the location is for the square itself, which one would take as any of the streets surrounding it. There is no street called Richmond Green, so I don't think your argument would prevail if you end up at London Tribunals.

However, I may be wrong so wait a bit for others to comment, but don't miss any deadlines on the PCN.

Hi all,

Grateful for any advice please. I've received an NTO in the post for being parked in a shared bay (permit and P&D) in Richmond and displaying no ticket. There was no PCN on return to the vehicle so it must have been taken by someone/blown away so the NTO is the first I heard of the contravention, therefore I've also missed out on the discounted period.

I've noticed the ticket states location as 'Richmond Green', however the vehicle was parked on 'Pembroke Villas', outside numbers 2&3 which is the perpendicular road of the square. The GPS location shown on the evidence photos pin points my vehicle exactly to this location too. It's possible to match this using Streetview to the houses shown in the background of the case photos.

Would this be an easy 'contravention did not occur' as the vehicle was not parked on 'Richmond Green' at the time?

Many thanks!
