Sorry that I知 a little late with this post, but I致e just begun dealing with a similar PCN relating to this location. Having checked the signs at the location I知 confident that the main pedestrian zone signs and the advance warning sign(s) do not comply with the TSRGD. I知 just waiting for a reply to a FOIA request and I値l be able to add more detail. This is on top of the other grounds already mentioned.I had to google what TSRGD is. It still bothers me that I received this PCN despite sings telling me I was allowed to use this road if I was delivering. Why not have the camera placed so it can show that I was loading there?
I disagree with this - where there's no contravention or as here the traffic order has an exemption to the contravention, that should be the primary ground for representations.+1
The PCN vailidity?Are you saying the PCN is invalid? I can use that in my appeal as well? It does seem confusing in that it says I should pay the ｣130 charge but it will be reduced if paid within 14 days, suggesting they will refund me back by 50%
There are issues outstanding:Ah I see. The PCN is addressed to me as its my van. The company I work for is a self employed role. I have appealed in the past using the notes that my company send to me but I think its the first time I will be appealing about an offence where I have to prove that I was allowed to access a particular road.
Is the PCN addressed to you by name?
You referred to your 'employer', please explain what form the proof of delivery would take.
I raise these points because we (too often) see accounts which start with 'I have received' only to find that vans are company-owned, that PCNs are addressed to the company, that 'someone in the office' has simply passed it on with an instruction to get it sorted and that an employee(or sometimes contractor) will make reps only to find that they're disregarded because only the person to whom the PCN is addressed may make reps.
Let's just get the fundamentals clear pl.
If the PCN isnot addressed to
The PCN is invalid as they state they can issue a charge certificate 28 days from the date of the notice. Back later. The rest of the PCN please.That's all they sent me. Just the two pages which shows the front and back of the PCN
I make this collateral challenge re the validity of the PCN. The period in which you may serve a charge certificate is wrongly expressed as it is truncated. Please see Schedule I of the 2003 Act which clearly states from the date of service as provided at para. 5(2)

In light of the above, please cancel.
I believe there is a sign stating that if you are loading then its ok to go through there.Yes, the sign allows people loading/unloading within the restricted area to enter, but you have to submit reps that you were engaged in loading, giving the address, and hopefully some collateral to show you had to pass the sign in order to carry out the loading.
