Free Traffic Legal Advice

@cp8759 I was abled to submit the appeal for one of the penalties using formal representations option on the council portal.

I just wanted to check the charge to pay will be locked in at £65 as I appealed within my 14 days? Or will that increase to the full price?

I received the below email:

“ Thank you for your representation, which has been allocated to the above Penalty Charge Notice. The case is now on hold until a response is sent to you either by email (if an email address has been provided) or by post.

Where a PCN is issued under the Traffic Management Act (TMA) 2004, the council will respond to your challenge within 56 days of the date it was received.

If you challenge your penalty charge notice within 14 days from the date of service of the notice, known as an informal challenge where the notice was placed on the vehicle or handed to the driver. Then it will then be held at the reduced rate and a further 14 days will be given, from the date of our correspondence, to pay at the reduced rate if your challenge is not accepted.

Any PCNs issued by a camera, such as bus lanes, no entry restrictions, motor vehicle restriction zones, pedestrian zones in pursuant to the Road Traffic Regulations Act 1984 (as amended), London Local Authorities 1996 and Transport for London Act 2003 will be responded to as soon as possible. There is no corresponding provision within the Acts relating to bus lane and moving traffic contraventions which require that an Enforcement Authority must respond within a statutory time limit.”

@cp8759 I live in newham and our street has the same restrictions, and we have had visitors park on the single yellow line, and the enforcement officer did not issue a PCN as it was a bank holiday, so I assumed it was the same rule across newham.

But if the rule is restrictions apply on bank holidays and it is down to the council this was an error on my part and I am happy to pay.

I received a penalty when parked on single yellow line on a bank holiday when there was a time restriction. However in the location there were no boxes or signs of restriction.

I have just received the attached notice from the council which suggests £65 within 14 days.

I really appreciate your help with drafting the representation.

Thank you

I have received the attached letter.

Should I contact the council or just wait for them to come back.

Their lines are usually really busy and its so hard to get hold of them.

Hey,

Thanks

I have received the form in the post and tomorrow is my last day.

I am not sure what I should write in the sections that says your reasons.

It’s a tiny box I will not be able to fit everything in the box.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
