Quote from: Incandescent on 19 Nov, 2025 19:32Yet again, we see the restriction signs at an absurd height, totally out of the motorists line of sight if safe driving is to be achieved.  Video shows what looks like a right turn into the restriction, is this correct ?If so, there should be an advance warning on that street. GSV is too out-of-date to show the signs, so if you can, go back with a camera, (phone camera OK), and see if there is an advance warning sign. The other aspect is the absurd height of these signs, so we could do with a measure of the height of the sign. There seems to be some sort of collective madness in London councils with these signs at the moment;  either this, or its  devious way of making sure the signs are continually passed so the council get loads of money from PCN penalty charges.Thanks. He has to go back to the area soon. I’ve suggested he takes some pictures and check for a sign

My son has, once again, fallen foul of one of these and would very much appreciate it if some wise and kind soul could give the PCN the once over to see if there is any viable grounds for appeal. Many thanks in advance

Quote from: MrChips on 10 Oct, 2025 16:19Not sure the location on the PCN is correct (although not sure if it's wrong enough to invalidate it either).The box junction concerned is at the junction of Lea Bridge Road and Church Road.I can't find any road called Markhouse Corner - there is a box junction at the junction of Lea Bridge Road and Markhouse Road but it's not the one your vehicle stopped in (that's the other one visible in the footage a few metres further ahead).Quote from: stamfordman on 10 Oct, 2025 16:30Markhouse Corner is named after a historic building that used to be there.There is no right turn except for buses and the right turn exemption wouldn't apply in that layout anyway.That's interesting. I wonder if it'd be worth a cheeky appeal for incorrect location?  Do WF offer the 50% after appeal?

Quote from: Jamezz65 on 10 Oct, 2025 10:51Hi @Hippocrates, I have just received the attached CHARGE CERTIFICATE from Havering.Since I made my representations on the 25/07/2025 I have NOT had any communicationwhat so ever from them.This seems to be a thing with Havering.See my case here. I have still not had a response to my representations despite three requests.https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/pcn-served-late/There is an online contact form for Havering here, you do, at least get an emailed response saying they have it and a reference number which may be of use later on. https://havering-self.achieveservice.com/service/lbh-Parking-PCN-Online-enquiry-form

Hi folks.  My son managed to fall foul of the above. Got caught out by a bus turning right which kept him in the box.I think he is bang to rights but thought I'd post the PCN here for a possible defence from those who knowMany thanks in advance.

Thanks for replies. The name and address are correct on both documents.I've used their online form thing again, requesting a rejection code.Nothing else I can do at this stage I suppose.

So I finally received a reply, link belowIs still haven't had a rejection letter (or any other "previous correspondence" from Havering) and so have no rejection code for making an appeal to the adjudicator.What to do from here? https://i.ibb.co/PZjy9wZz/forforum.jpg

So, wrote by recorded delivery asking for status of the PCN on 12th September. No response.So, tried their phone number again. No answer.So, went online, eventually found a web form that can (allegedly) be used to query the status of a Havering PCN. Filled it out. Message said response within 24 hours. Guess what...  No news is good news I suppose.  I'll leave them to it now. They've obviously got too much to do. Havering enquiry form thing for anyone in similar situationhttps://havering-self.achieveservice.com/service/lbh-Parking-PCN-Online-enquiry-form

Quote from: RichardW on 11 Sep, 2025 11:25Never assume!You should be able to check on the Council's website the status of the PCN.  If it's still shown as live, then a follow up looks appropriate.Thanks.  Checked and it is still on there. Tried the phone number provided on their email which, of course, is not answered, so sent a recorded letter.

Hi again folks.  I appealed this on 11th July and have received no response aside from the "do not reply" email acknowledging that they've received my representations.Am I best to assume they've cancelled it or to contact them to be sure?

Quote from: MrChips on 10 Jul, 2025 20:05Do you own the car or is it leased?Owned. 

I understand that councils have 28 days to serve PCNs from the date of the alleged contravention.I have received a PCN today, 10/7, for an alleged contravention on 10th June. The PCN states "date of notice 08/07/2025"I assume this is a simple out of time defence since 30 days have passed since the alleged contravention?Many thanks in advance [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
