Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some advice regarding a parking charge notice I’ve received for an alleged overstay.

I received a parking charge from UKPC for parking at Leyton Mill Retail Park, E10 5NH, on 16 December 2025. The notice states that the vehicle overstayed the permitted parking time by 19 minutes.

We were genuine customers at the retail park. During our visit, we stopped by Costa Coffee and then visited TK Maxx. We do have bank transactions to prove these visits; however, the transactions are showing on the following day, not on the same date as the parking event.

I have not yet appealed or contacted the parking company.
The first notice to the registered keeper was received by post on 02.01.2026, demanding £60.
The second letter was received by post on 12.01.2026 with the full amount of £100.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks @John U.K.

See my letter to the Newham council below, can that be used for the London Tribunal, or need to be something different?
I'm a little bit concerned about what Grounds of Appeal to use...
Thanks in advance for any help with this

Dear Sir/Madam

Subject: Penalty Charge Notice  PN38651553  dated 06.05.2024
reg RE12NHG

I write to you in respect of the above Penalty Charge Notice issued to my vehicle which was issued for the alleged reason - Parked in a Restricted street during prescribed hours.

I wish to appeal it as the contravention did not occur for the following reasons:

The car was parked on a bank holiday when restrictions for parking were not clearly shown by signage. The Newham website states, "The restrictions for yellow lines can be found on time plates by the side of the road". On that particular street, there aren't any signs stating any information about parking on bank holidays for either parking bays or single yellow lines. If Restrictions don't apply to parking bays on a Bank holiday but apply to single yellow lines there should be clear signs stating that difference.

All signs need to be clearly visible and to prescribed criteria so motorists can make an informed decision. If a sign is obscured and unclear, it cannot be said that the car park/road was adequately signed. I therefore cannot be found guilty of the alleged contravention.
I enclose photos and supporting evidence to support my appeal for consideration.

I look forward to receiving confirmation that the ticket has been canceled within 28 days.

Hi again to everyone,

I would need advice on how to appeal to the London Tribunal about my PCN issue.
Please see the letter of correspondence from the Newham council. Any advice will be appreciated.

As the letter was sent on 06.09.2024 do you know by any chance when is the deadline date that I could respond?
Thanks in advance.


P.S. Link with the letter as again I was unable to upload pictures.

Hi everyone,

any help what with the official representation will be much appreciated, otherwise probably i have to pay the increased rate of the fine, as I don't have much experience dealing with such a cases.
Today is the final day for representation or payment btw.

Thanks in advance

Please see from attached pictures in the link where I entered the zone and signs related to it. The signs itself looks like they should be other way around pointing that I'm leaving zone SNW.

Hi @cp8759, Yes all up to date.
Do I need to go to the street where I was fined to check around all the signs and make pictures of them?
Thanks

@FaeLLe thank you for noticing, appreciated.
