It’s the technicality that I’m hoping for, can you see any please?

Well, we're clever, (says he, boasting !), but we're not miracle workers. The contravention does seem to be made out.  She parked in a marked-out bay, so that gives her a duty to look for the sign for the bay to see what the conditions of use are. The sign is clear enough.

Whilst there may be a 'technical' appeal argument based on Harrow mismanagement of the enforcement process, these sort of things are usually only dealt with at the adjudicators, London Tribunals with the full PCN penalty in play. So if such an argument is presented here, she would have to forego the discount option.

Is there any mitigation you know about ?

Hi All,

This ticket was gotten out of sheer forgetfulness. My sister hardly ever comes to mine during the day and I’m always telling people to park in front of the shop that gives 1 hour free.

She was at mine for about 20mins, completely forgot the timings and parked in residents only place and now has a ticket.

Can any of you clever lot, see any possible grounds of appeal please or should she just suck it up and pay up? :-\

I’ve uploaded the tickets and photos of the sign.
