Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hello All,

Croydon council sent me a PCN last year and I received it after the appeal date.

The PCN stated that I had gone through a pedestrian zone but the sign In the video and the photo isn’t visible.

I reached out to them, they sent me a letter to which I responded to.

They asked me what exactly I’m appealing and I told them.

After that, there was no response and a couple of weeks ago, they sent me a letter increasing the charge.

They haven’t given me any chance to go to Tribunal.

Does anyone have any advice regarding this matter?

TIA

Here is the GSV which has a disabled bay painted but you can see from the photos I’ve attached, the bay is faded

PCN

I’m posting this for a friend as she doesn’t have access to this website.

The £4.70 charge seemed excessive to me given the first hour is free.

Please could you advise?

Many Thanks



I received a fine today which I believe to be unfair, could someone kindly advice on how I can get it reversed.  I parked in what appeared to be a standard parking bay. Before leaving my car I checked the nearby sign and used the RingGo app to pay for 2 hours of parking, (I paid £4.70) believing I had complied fully with the requirements. When I returned, I was surprised to find a penalty charge notice. After speaking with a parking warden, I was told the bay was reserved for disabled badge holders. However, there was no visible road markings at the end of the bay to indicate it was a disabled bay, nor was the signage clear. The lack of clear markings and ambiguous signage misled me into thinking it was a normal parking bay.

Mr Chips,

Thank you so much for the response, they let me off.

I will attach the response below

Yes, it was.

The date of the PCN is the 17th July.

Thank you.

Although they could argue I could have moved away and stayed behind the green car
