Good afternoon,

I sent the Council a PDF of the Blue Badge as per their request and they have cancelled the PCN: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hgC6YSRsaSekRdbz5

Thanks, everybody, for your time and input.

No representative?
Correct, no representative on this occasion.

And what's with the letter about the BB - your pictures show the BB and clock on the dash so what's going on with this.
This is the sole reason I've come to the forum. I know I was overtime and I presented an argument to the council in the hope that perhaps they'll capitulate, but I don't at all think I'm entitled to an overturning.

But this request for the BB is puzzling.

Hello,

On 27th October, I had inadvertently allowed the time on a family member's disabled badge timewheel to lapse whilst parked on a single yellow.

On 23rd November I had made an informal challenge citing that the CEO did not provide evidence of the underlying restricted hours (no photo of the timeplate), so therefore there is no enforceable PCN.

On 1st December, I got an emailed letter signed by NSL on behalf of the Head of Parking Services, asking me to, within seven days, provide a picture of both sides of the disabled badge.

I missed the email and, so far, I have not received an NTO.

I have no qualms with providing the picture as the use case is legitimate, but I feel like they're sidestepping the main issue on their part I was trying to highlight in my challenge.

Should I just go ahead and accede to their request?

Link to PCN, CEO evidence, informal challenge and their response (open in Incognito mode to avoid the need to sign in).

Hello all,

Due to various things happening in my life right now what with a new child expected and major building works in the household, I completely forgot I had received a Notice of Rejection dated 11/07/2025 and I am now out of the allowed adjudicator escalation window.

Link to rejection:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q6EYYdsa_Od_gGAk_TSspEpIs8XBnqYR/view?usp=drivesdk

The council's portal still shows the normal rate of £130.00.

I'm thinking that the best course of action would be to submit a case to the Tribunal tonight giving an excuse of the lateness? Would that, at the very least, stop the Charge being increased by 50% ?

Any advice would be appreciated.

@cp8759

OP, pl read what you've posted.

Their NOR was sent on 7 July. Their letter dated 29 July advises you and includes a copy.

Assuming you didn't receive the original NOR, you could simply ignore the copy and wait for the process to unfold i.e. Charge Certificate, Order for Recovery, revocation order, authority referral to adjudicator and your appeal.

Or you could register an appeal now - and add procedural impropriety to what you had in your reps- and carry on. This would be quicker and you would be in control.

With a NOR dated 7 July the mandated (as opposed to the period stated in the NOR) 28 days to appeal ends on TUESDAY 5 AUGUST. 

WaIt for other views.
...but don't wait too long.

I received the original NOR but I misplaced it hence I asked them to send me another one, with the intention to abide by the given timeline, hence I am getting everything in place for me to file a case with the adjudicator by midnight tonight. Is today not the last day, then?

Here is the draft (if you want to skip the points I have previously submitted to the Council then you can start reading from halfway down the second page).

And here are the URL analytics.

Good afternoon everyone,

Some linked updates:


In order to try and leverage the Strategy of Last Resort, I did provide them with a Bitly link as mitigating evidence, and my Bitly analytics clearly show no-one ever clicked on it.
@cp8759 Can you please advise on how to proceed on this basis?

[EDIT: Broken links fixed]

I added on the fact that there used to be a context-critical sign on the gate but is not there anymore. I've submitted the challenge (which I've uploaded to the folder) and will let you know of the outcome. Thank you for your help.

I've just remembered that the PCN shows the colour of the car as grey instead of silver, but from what I understand that discrepancy has little sway in cancelling a PCN anyway.

Good evening,

Some jobsworth issued a PCN against my car because it was parked adjacent to a dropped kerb which leads to a gate which is never used. The case is now at the NTO stage.

Link to OneDrive folder (use Incognito to avoid needing to sign-in).
GSV location (the RESERVED PARKING sign was not there when I parked)

Pending any further advice you can give me, here is the gist of what I am thinking of writing in my formal challenge:



I normally park in front of my own garage behind my house, but on this occasion somebody else had blocked my garage, and my usual street of second resort was also full of cars, so I had to instead park on Brecon Road which I am unfamiliar with.

Brecon Road is not part of a CPZ and the place I parked had no road markings. It was therefore a surprise to me to find a PCN issued when I returned to the car the following evening.

I believe this PCN should be cancelled because of the following factors:
  • The height of the unlowered portion of the kerb is much lower than normal kerb height, which makes the lowered 'special' portion significantly less distinguishable from the unlowered part of the kerb
  • The fact that the gate served by the dropped kerb is of the same colour, wood type and wood orientation as the surrounding garden fence, and has no sign on it, makes it very unobvious, especially in the dark, that a gate even exists at the location, let alone a dropped kerb to enforce unobstructed access to it. Such context is important given what I mentioned in the first bullet point.
  • The fact that the start and end of the dropped kerb is significantly offset from the start and end of the gate further reduces the noticeability of the dropped kerb.
  • Given all of the above, a single white line should have been there to mitigate the unnoticeability of the special enforcement zone. However, no such line is there, even though such a line is commonly used in front of contextually-obvious places like in front of large sweeping driveways.


In the OneDrive folder, I have added some photos of my own which show how the lowered and unlowered portions of the kerb visually blend into each other. Please let me know of anything that can help my case.

Thank you all for your ongoing discussion. In particular thank you @stamfordman for going through the trouble of going to the location to take a photo.

I'm honestly at a loss for how I got it so badly wrong, I have good vision and don't normally make these kinds of mistakes.

Is me saying the sign hadn't been flipped over a poor defence? Would there be any onus on the authority to prove it had been done? The rejection letter says they do it "days before" an event, therefore any assertion that the sign wasn't flipped to match mode cannot be correct.

... surely that can't be true, because, if what they're saying is indeed the case, the implication is that, on the days leading up to an event, people are able to park without any restrictions whatsoever?

In these circumstances the best option might be the strategy of last resort, though I have come up with a few variations of it they all depend on the OP having some sort of mitigating evidence for the council to (fail to) look at.

The only thing I can come up with is just a screenshot of GSV which I saw before I set off. Or proof of purchase at the restaurant. They probably won't bother to look at either of those things.

If I wait for the NtO, appeal and then they reject it, will they re-offer the discounted rate?

I'm loath to act before the OP has bothered to answer.

At the best of times it's a one-hour round trip for me to go to the sign and come home again, and things are slightly more complicated what with me needing to go on a match or event day. I'm not saying I refuse to do it but there's obviously nothing I can do until I get the opportunity.
