Title: Re: Newham Council - Halley Road E7, Contravention code 19, but incorrectly issued
Post by: 5imkvjg1 on September 17, 2025, 08:16:43 pm: Ah my mistake, I thought all details counted.

I renewed my permit about 2 hours after the PCN was issues. I'll angle for a discretionary appeal then. Thanks very much for the advice folks.

on colour of car and make. I used to know all the cars, but it's beyond me now with all these Chinese makes running around.

Have you renewed the permit - if it's continuing from expiry you have a good shout at asking for discretion but Newham are not forgiving.

So the PCN has the contravention correct - code 19 is "Parked in a residents’ or shared use parking place or zone either displaying an invalid permit or voucher or pay and display ticket, or after the expiry of paid for time – Contravention Code 19". I'm a resident, my permit expired a week ago, I changed email addresses, didn't get the renewal notice, hands up.

However the PCN itself is issued incorrectly - "Vehicle make & colour" is specified as "Lexus Black" rather than "Tesla Black".

Could someone help with the wording of the appeal please, if that's the route to take? I remember from a post on Pepipoo its rather particular to get right.

Thanks very much
