Free Traffic Legal Advice

@John U.K. Yes perhaps a typo in the case number, I just copied the number from @cp8759 's comment.

Deadline is looming for this one, and double payment will be due soon!

One point made by an earlier commenter:

The sign referred to states:
No waiting Mon-Sat 8.30am - 6.30 pm.

An additional sign includes the 2-wheel footway parking symbol with the words:
At other times and Sunday.

The PCN was issued at 2.30pm on Saturday 26 Aug.

Wondering what impact this might have if this goes to tribunal.

Please see previous comment for full copy of NtO.

Dear cp8759 and others,

I have now received the Notice to Owner for this PCN.

Grateful for your guidance on what to do from now.

Wait for the Notice to Owner, as long as you challenge it within 14 days of the date of issue the council will almost invariably reoffer the discount even if they reject (because they want to give you an incentive not to appeal to the tribunal).

I'm due to get an FOI response about the footway parking resolution on or before 28 September.

Thanks, I will wait for the Notice to Owner and then will post again here for further instruction.

I'm not sure I used that exact text, I can't remember and can't find how to check. I do know I included a GSV link in my appeal.

Dear all, thanks for your input.


In response to cp859:

Is the vehicle leased / hired, or are you the registered keeper?

I am the registered keeper.

What sort of items were you collecting?

Wrapping materials for medical devices.

Were you alone?

Yes.

Where was the officer when you first saw him?

In front of the car.

In any event

Do the signs and the footway parking resolution mean I should appeal this PCN? Could you advise on how I might word the appeal? Reasons for Challenging the PCN

In response to TheRookie

Bang to rights

Does this mean No contest I was in the wrong?


In response to Incandescent

PCN is a nullity

Does this mean No contest the PCN was incorrect?

There are no breaks in that yellow line

What significance does this have?

Just trying to understand the situation better, and I can't thank you all enough.

Hi all, thanks cp859 for directing me here.

I stopped outside a commercial building on Wards Road to collect some items.

I can't have been in there for more than 120 seconds.

As I was coming out I saw a parking officer in front of my vehicle.

I said "I'm here" or something to that effect. The officer looked up. Said he had already printed the ticket.

I'm not sure my vehicle was observed for a continuous 30 seconds as I was there so briefly. I also wonder if the ticket was printed after the officer saw me coming to the vehicle. Please could anyone advise if I should appeal this or if I was indeed in the wrong.

Front of PCN:

Thanks Again
