I make representations against the above PCN on the following grounds.

1. The alleged contravention did not occur

At approximately 21:30 on 30 July 2026, I parked my vehicle at the location shown in the authority's photographic evidence, outside 27 Evelyn Gardens.

I live in a property directly fronting this residents' parking bay and use the parking place regularly. I did not notice any suspension signage when I parked on the evening of 30 July, nor do I recall seeing any such signage in the days immediately preceding this.

I subsequently checked the vehicle on 31 July before leaving for holiday that day and again did not notice any suspension signage.

I have now seen from the authority's evidence that the suspension sign states "posted 23/07/2026". Given the above circumstances, I ask the Council to confirm when the suspension signage was actually erected and to provide the contemporaneous records establishing that it was in place from 23 July 2026.

I understand that the Council's policy is ordinarily to provide at least 7 calendar days' advance notice of a parking suspension. If the signage was not in fact erected on 23 July as stated, the required advance notice would not have been provided.

Furthermore, the Council's own online "Find a scheduled parking suspension" facility currently returns the following result when searching Evelyn Gardens for 31 July 2026:

"There are no parking suspensions for Evelyn Gardens on 31/07/2026."

If the Council rejects these representations, please provide the relevant suspension record together with the contemporaneous sign **** log, dated photographs or other records establishing when and where the suspension signage was erected.

2. Condition of the PCN

I was away on holiday from 31 July until 17 August 2026. Upon returning on Monday 17 August, I found the PCN still attached to my vehicle.

Considerable portions of the printed information on the face of the notice are faded or disappeared entirely. In particular, a substantial section of the information immediately above and right beneath the detachable payment slip was no longer legible.

I enclose photographs showing the PCN exactly as I found it.

A motorist must be able to ascertain from a PCN the mandatory information concerning the penalty and the procedure applicable to it. The notice should therefore be printed and protected in a manner reasonably capable of preserving that information while it remains affixed to the vehicle.

In this case, the PCN was apparently not adequately sealed against the elements and/or was printed using materials that did not preserve the information.

I therefore ask the Council to cancel the PCN.

Should the Council nevertheless reject these representations, please address each of the above grounds specifically and provide the requested evidence concerning the suspension and **** of the signage.

Here you can see the PCN front and back together with the envelope. This london heat clearly had its effects…

Apologies for the typo... you are correct, I meant no. 27, not no. 12.

I live in the house directly fronting this parking bay where the vehicle was parked, and I am the registered keeper of the vehicle with my current details registered with the DVLA.

The discount information has not been deliberately redacted. It appears to have disappeared due to exposure to the elements, as I only discovered the PCN on my windscreen upon returning from my summer holiday.

There have been previous situations where the council has claimed that suspension signage was erected with appropriate notice but was unable to provide evidence to prove this (i.e. that the sign was in fact present on the day it was allegedly errected). I have already successfully challenged two such PCNs. Hence, I would like to know whether there are any further points or suggestions that could be added to the challenge.

Hi all,

I would appreciate some advice on whether I have grounds to challenge this PCN issued by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

PCN: KE27705861
Location: Evelyn Gardens
Contravention: Parked wholly or partly in a suspended bay or space residents bay
Date: 31/07/2026
Time: 12:13
Penalty: £160

At approximately 21:30 on 30 July 2026, I parked the vehicle in a residents' bay outside 12 Evelyn Gardens. I did not see any suspension signage when I parked.

I was due to leave for holiday the following day, 31 July. I did not become aware that the bay had been suspended (there are no lamp posts in front of number 12) and subsequently received this PCN.

Having now looked at the council's photographic evidence, I noticed that the suspension sign appears to state that the suspension was posted 23/07/2026. The sign appears to be present on a lamp post further down the road.

I also understand that RBKC normally provides 7 calendar days' advance notice of a parking suspension. I did not receive any notification of the suspension, despite being a resident/permit holder.

PCN, council photographs and suspension sign can be seen here: https://imgpile.com/p/vHb9rcl

Any advice on how this should be challenged would be greatly appreciated. We successfully challenged a similar PCN last year, although in that case the cancellation was ultimately due to the NTO having been sent to the wrong address.

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi everyone,

I've received a Transport for London PCN for an alleged prohibited right turn and would appreciate any advice before I decide whether to pay or challenge it.

PCN Details

Authority: Transport for London (TfL)
PCN Number: GX37552871
Contravention Code: 50R
Alleged Contravention: Performing a prohibited right turn
Location: Grosvenor Road / Chelsea Bridge Road
Date of Contravention: 02/07/2026
Time: 15:19
Date of Notice: 10/07/2026
Penalty: £160 (£80 if paid within the 14-day discount period)

The PCN states that the alleged contravention was recorded by camera.

At this stage I haven't made any representations or contacted TfL.

I had a look at the junction on Google Street View and noticed that the "No Right Turn" prohibition appears to be displayed on the traffic lights at the junction  with an exception for local buses (there are no other signs before). However, the road markings appear to include a right-turn lane/arrow.

I'd be grateful if anyone could review the PCN and let me know if there are any potential grounds of appeal.

Hi Incandescent,

Thanks.

I've now uploaded:

Original PCN that has been rejected https://imgpile.com/p/qiywYYn
Notice of Rejection: https://imgpile.com/p/AvGexzE
Charge Certificate https://imgpile.com/p/YsFbxsY
Cancellation letter for the other PCN: https://imgpile.com/p/qLIiXKG

As I mentioned earlier, I misunderstood the Notice of Rejection and incorrectly thought a Notice to Owner would follow, so I did not appeal to London Tribunals within the 28-day period.

Since receiving the Charge Certificate, I have spoken to London Tribunals and TEC.

I'd appreciate any advice on what my next step should be.

Hi Hippocrates,

Quick update on my case.

I challenged both PCNs using the arguments discussed here and using the wording you suggested.

Outcome:
PCN HZ95339273 (10:24) → Cancelled (discretion)
PCN HZ95348988 (10:23) → Rejected

It seems inconsistent to cancel one PCN but enforce the other when both arise from the same continuous sequence of events.

Any advice?
