@cp8759Please see below and I would appreciate if you let me know what you think about it - any recommendation/amendments ?Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to formally challenge the Penalty Charge Notice number ...... , issued for failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone, on Cumberland Road, W7, with contravention code 53J on 15/01/2025.I am a kitchen fitter and had an appointment scheduled with a customer at 69A Cumberland Road to conduct a pre-fit survey (to measure up a kitchen prior to installation). Upon arrival, I found that the householder, Miss Angela, did not have a valid permit or visitor permits available for my use. Unfortunately, I was unaware of the local parking restrictions and was not informed of any such restrictions by the customer prior to my visit.I am not familiar with the area and used a satnav for directions to the property. At no point during the lead-up to this appointment was I advised of any parking limitations or zone restrictions in place on Cumberland Road. This lack of awareness contributed to my inadvertent violation.Given the circumstances, I respectfully request that this PCN be cancelled. I hope you will take into consideration the fact that this was an honest mistake, made in good faith, with no intention of disregarding local traffic regulations.Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to your favorable response.Yours faithfully,
