Title: Re: Newham Council, 73U parking without paying, Shaftesbury Road Car Park

Two points.

1. The contravention is not paying to park - you did pay.

2. The 0/O error is common and some adjudicators will laugh this out of the tribunal as allowed because the font used on plates is identical and because of triviality. But some adjudicators feel their hands are tied by the traffic order and can't use mitigation.

You should certainly challenge - Newham has a bad reputation but may allow this anyway.

Title: Newham Council, 73U parking without paying, Shaftesbury Road Car Park

Hello,

Last week I parked at shaftesbury car park, I paid but I entered the wrong registration, I put an O instead of a 0 in the app, so I got a PCN, obviously I know it's my mistake, I was just wondering if I can still appeal it as I did pay just made a mistake on one number on the reg? Or I should just pay the 50% while I still can?
