Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Yellow Box PCN, Chadwell Heath, Redbridge Council
« on: July 03, 2025, 02:33:33 am »
Bumping due to appeal being rejected:
I got a letter saying that the appeal has been rejected due to "We have rejected your representations because your vehicle was seen entering and stopping in a box junction. The highway code advises "you MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear". Having reviewed the case I am satisfied that the driver would have been aware when entering the box junction that they would not be able to exit and therefore the PCN was issued correctly". Your comments and evidence have been noted however this does not mean to cancel this PCN."
I quite literally spoke in my appeal about how the PCN was invalid due to being after the 28 days, as specified here:
(c)a penalty charge notice is deemed to have been cancelled under paragraph 7(
(c) of the said Schedule (deemed cancellation where a statutory declaration under paragraph 7(2)(a) of that Schedule is served under paragraph 7(1)(c)),
the borough council or Transport for London, as the case may be, may not serve a fresh penalty charge notice after the expiry of the period of 28 days from the date of the cancellation of the penalty charge notice or, in a case falling within paragraph (c) above, the date on which that council or body are served with notice under paragraph 7(
(d) of the said Schedule.

How on earth can they not mention the entire point I made in the appeal in their notice of rejection of representation? Surely they can't flat out refuse to accept that something was quite literally issued outside the legal timeframe allowed for doing so, especially considering I uploaded the exact images that I did so here?!
