Title: Re: Coventry Council driving in Bus lane ticket- PCN issued over 2 weeks after offence
Post by: Incandescent on December 27, 2025, 10:13:26 pm

The council have 28 days from contravention date to serve a PCN. Sorry, but no escape on this aspect, but if you read the following and update your thread a possible appeal argument may exist, but we need to see the documents to see if there is one.

Title: Coventry Council driving in Bus lane ticket- PCN issued over 2 weeks after offence
Post by: Mattys on December 27, 2025, 03:27:40 pm

We had a ticket through issued on 22nd December for driving in a bus lane on 6th December. Is the rule of it not being issued within 14 days a grounds for appealing it? I have heard the rule with parking tickets, I dont know if it's the same?

Thank you
