How can it?
-
That is my understanding, however I do not know if that date (and outcome) puts it out of reach of this PCN or not.
Put simply I do not fully understand my options at this point. I am willing to escalate and hold a council to account but only if that's of value for example
-
His case has now been rescheduled to August.
-
If this PCN was paid now at £80, would I be able to avail any positive outcome from Hippocrates' case, or will that window have closed by then?
-
One thing possibly of interest is a message on the online portal, which suggests that the PCN will increase to £240 on the 26th Feb.
However the letter says that it will increase to £160 14 days after the letter is served, and then to £240 after 28 days. If we take the letter to have been served on 9th Feb, that means £160 on 23rd Feb, and £240 on 9th Mar, so I'm not sure where the portal's date of 26th Feb comes from?

My case rescheduled to August. :)

Today I received electronically the "Notice of Rejection of representations". Let me know if that needs uploading?
Yes, please.

Yes it does need uploading please

All done. Will keep the thread updated.
-
Contravention did not occur. I would make a pdf and screenshot everything.
-
Thank you for clarifying H, the PCN online still claims to be in discount (£80) until the 23rd Jan, so should I submit a representation before that?
EDIT: just read the complete message above. Will make that representation - I will use "I wish to make representations about this PCN for other reasons" unless advised otherwise!
-
Which makes 21st for 14 days. The website says 23rd which I suppose is close enough if not fully accurate nor correct.
Given tomorrow is the deadline is there any action to be taken? Should a representation be made on both technical and discretionary basis?
20th I make it. Just say: there is a plurality of signage and the top sign is too high. Please cancel.

Check daily the website.

Deemed date of service is 7th.
-
The online portal for paying or disputing a penalty charge notice (PCN) will be unavailable from 6pm on 16 January to 10pm on 18 January 2026, due to system updates.
Still closed! However! Accessed mine.
-
Their website is closed until 10 p.m. tonight. I will take a look too.
-
What does the website say re payment?
OK in now.
"The amount outstanding on the PCN is £80.00, and will increase to £160.00 on Fri, 23 Jan 2026. Please pay £80.00 now." That date seems more than the 5th + 14 days.
"Pay Now" takes me to citypay.
"Representation" takes me to a standard form with the following options:
The contravention did not occur
I was not the owner of the vehicle at the time the contravention occurred
The vehicle had been taken without the keepers consent (i.e. it was stolen)
We are a hire firm and will provide details of the hirer
The PCN exceeded the amount applicable
The PCN has been paid
I wish to make representations about this PCN for other reasons
Clicking on "Your PCN is at discount stage. PCN process information" takes me to https://hackney.gov.uk/parking-fines

Try again tomorrow, Monday. You have a screenshot.
This is a fairly recent restriction in Chatsworth Road I think.
-
I am still unable to log in to the website. I have tried different devices and different internet connections. It has only been half a day since I received the letter however.

Apologies for the last minute nature, we just became aware of the PCN today after being out of the country.
-
I do not recall passing these signs, although since they start in the middle of a road past a pedestrian crossing that may have been because I wouldn't have expected a change in access at that point.
Unfortunately I am unable to log into the PCN website to scrutinise the evidence fully:

I think the location is https://maps.app.goo.gl/QJrM7ifnV1nkDYrW7 but the media is heavily redacted so I cannot tell for sure.
