#7 Bradford Council code 34j - dispute
on 21 Jul, 2023 00:29 in Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on)
Hi all,I am writing to urgently seek your advice and assistance regarding a concerning situation I am facing with Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued for a bus gate contravention on Bridge Street in Bradford.Recently, I received multiple PCN,s for allegedly contravening the bus gate on Bridge Street. Prior to this, I had contacted the council to inquire about the camera enforcement of the bus gate, and I was informed that the bus gate outside the Queen pub on Bridge Street had been temporarily deactivated, while all other bus gates on Bridge Street remained operational. Based on this information, I believed it was permissible to use that route without incurring any penalties.To my dismay, not only did I receive the PCN for the alleged contravention, but I also received multiple additional PCNs for the same bus gate contravention. Today alone, I received four PCNs through the post, despite having appealed one of them (awaiting result)This situation is deeply concerning, as it appears to be an unjust and repetitive issuance of PCNs for a situation where I genuinely believed I was following the council's guidance. I am seeking your advice and assistance on how to handle this matter.I have already appealed one of the PCNs and provided all relevant evidence, including the email exchanges with the council. However, I fear that I might continue to receive more PCNs, which could lead to further complications and penalties.I would greatly appreciate your guidance on the best course of action to resolve this issue and ensure that I am not unfairly burdened with unnecessary PCNs. Your assistance in this matter is crucial, and I am hopeful that you can provide valuable insight and support.Contravention code was 34j.1st pcn - 11th July alleged contravention.
