As long as the notice to owner is challenged within 14 days of the date of issue, if the council rejects again they normally extend the discount for a further 14 days, so there is limited risk in carrying on.
Finally got a respond, unfortunately they've rejected the informal challenge. Very heartless in my opinion, a little surprised too. Anyway, what options are there now? I guess if nothing strong to go by, paying the discounted and being done with this is only choice.No, that's not how this works. Virtually all informal representations are rejected, because the council knows that 99% of people will just pay, and obviously the council gets to keep the money for itself.
I meant in the sense that if there's nothing wrong with it or further to add or adjust in the writing.Well if he's already sent it it's a bit late to add anything. At the notice to owner stage, we can look at this again.
Not yet did the informal challenge, should he proceed and I guess cut out the assumption the sign was not there?Not sure what you mean by "should he proceed", if he's make an informal challenge all he can do is wait for the response.
Of course the other question is whether that sign was adequate, which of course is debatable.
Hello, I do not live in the area and did not fully understand event days, as it was a Sunday after parking and attending a local community centre near by I asked whether there was a football match which I was informed the local team was not playing so I assumed there was no event. Unfortunately there was an "NFL" match instead of a normal football match, hence the misinformation and confusion.
My father has recently passed away and the purpose of my visit was to attend a community centre to meet people coming to pay their condolences for me and my family. My father attended this community centre and we organized to meet here which was planned in haste.
I have been informed that there is usually a sign upon entry indicating if there is an event however I unfortunately missed this sign due to my haste and was unaware where to look for event day information. I would kindly request mitigating the situation and your understanding in this time of bereaving our father, as it was completely unexpected.

It could take until 6 November for me to get the photos from the council, so in the meantime it's worth putting something in even if just to preserve the discount.
What compassionate grounds did you have in mind? Please put a draft of what you want to send on here for review.

Please give us the number plate and PCN number so that we can do some basic checks. In the meantime I'll find out if the council can prove what sign was displayed at the location identified by Incandescent.
As well as the sign shown, there should be signs at all entrances to the Events Zone giving the date of the next event. So if your friend can give us his route to the location we'll have a look. He could submit reps stating that he never say any sign for the date of the next event. They'll have to prove they did if it gets to adjudication.
