oh wow well yes please if you dont mind drafting something for me that would be very much appreciated! I honestly didn't think there would be much I could do about it as they have cancelled the pcn so there is no fine to pay, so was thinking how do I appeal against that! - but I am really really annoyed about how the worded the letter to make it sound as though they they were still completely in the right and therefore were only cancelling it for "goodwill" not because there had been an error on their part.
Like you originally said you can see the reason the pcn was issued and although I didnt know before now that parking on a "raised" carrigeway
wasnt allowed I now also understand the reasoning behind it but as you also noticed the place where the vehicle was parked wasnt somewhere that was clearly raised for the intended reason of making it easier for people to cross the road and their letter is still stating that parking on "raised" is the same contrevention as parkng on "lowered" but as you pointed out that is a "28" not a "27" (After you brought that to my attention i found a list of newcastle council contravention codes online at https://www.newcastle.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Differential%20Charging%20Guidelines.pdf which shows that fact so they cant claim they d
ont use 2 seperate codes!)
Although I sincerlt hope not to get any other pcns there is no guarentee that I wont, although I have never had one in my life before now getting this one clearly shows sometimes these things happen so I dont see why I should lose out on any "goodwill" that may be given should I find myself with a pcn in future just because the council wont admit they are in the wrong/made a mistake in this one
thank you again for the help you have given me already and for letting me know I dont have to just accept having this held against me!
