Contravention did not occur

As the authority will know, the contravention requires my car to be straddling bay markings, whether end-of-bay or optional transverse markings. The CEO has taken photos and I would draw your attention to the one which captures the end-of-bay markings, the whole length of the nearside of my car and the carriageway underneath. The end-of-bay markings are clear and there is nothing which even resembles the clarity of this marking under my car. I suppose it's possible that the CEO simply pressed the wrong button on their computer, I don't know.

But what is clear is that the council's evidence does not support the given contravention and therefore the PCN must be cancelled.


I suggest something along the lines of the above because IMO you should reference the clarity of the end-of-bay markings as IMO these set the standard for any transverse markings. Compare, contrast, conclude.

The London Borough of Redbridge doth attempt to extrapolate the urine as ever.

Yes, go for council's own evidence (CEO photos), which show no individual bay markings, so the contravention did not occur

The council's photo evidence doesn't show any other bay markings......so submit "no evidence/provide strict proof" as valid reps.  Thoughts?

Answers on a postcard please.
