Free Traffic Legal Advice

I received a PCN via post for performing a prohibited turn (no U-turn) on Dagenham Heathway. I parked in the bay  right next to the snack bar shop (Street view link in google maps) I had come from the direction of Parsloes Ave so I performed a U turn to head back in that direction. In all honestly I didn't see the signs which appear on google maps as it was a busy Sunday afternoon loads of pedestrians trying to cross as I approached to park. In my opinion I didn't perform a U-turn I just turned to go back in the direction I came in. I would have had to wait for the on coming traffic to stop to leave the position I had parked in.

What approach should I take to challenge this? I do think the signage is poor and I would like to hear the views of those on the technicalities of this PCN and any advise

Thank you.

Update: after completing and filing the TE9 form and received a notification letter that the statutory declaration/witness statement was filed by the court. The letter then goes on to say that we should contact the local authority regarding the PCN. I have tried this in the past and they sent me an order for recovery and this point it seems the havering council doesn't want to speak to me. I have just tried to call the council up and I have tried various options to speak to a person on the automated system to no avail.

Does the Parking department in Havering Council have a direct line to speak to a member of staff? or an email address? It seems from the witness statement response from the court the onus is on me to contact the council but I have no means by which I can speak to a member of staff apart from the online form which hasn't worked and I am not sure what to do from here.

I created a post thread on Pepipoo back in March on behalf of my mum she had not put the right time on the blue badge parking clock which she thought she had. It seems like a moment of absent-mindedness as she was in Romford trying to resolve an issue at the bank that was worrying her.

Since then a challenge was made online in early March and a reference was given W33454058. Then a month or two later a Notice to owners was sent and a challenge was made which we have no reference for. I then made an enquiry as a decision on the challenge was never received by my mother. To date, there has been no correspondence in relation to the challenge and the enquiry but my Mother has now received a TE3 - Order for recovery of unpaid penalty charge. What is the best course of action in this situation? It has been hard to contact the council via phone and online and the enquiry I made has been ignored.

I received a PCN in Newham council for contravention 12 parking without a valid virtual permit to which I had entered the wrong location/road. I parked on St Lukes Sq in Canning Town and entered St Lukes Road in Cheltenham. I have the receipt of payment for parking in the location for 2 hours is this enough to win a challenge?

Where's the Notice to Owner please?

Sorry for the delayed reply. I have had a search on my PC and can't seem to find the informal representation. Is there a way I can request this from the council?

1. Newham council
Contravention 54 failing to comply with restriction on vehicle entering and waiting in a pedestrian zone
Hoy Street -GSV

2. This is the second PCN that I have gotten on the exact same street which I created the following thread for the previous PCN pepipoo forum. My difficulty with this area is that there is never any available bay parking when I arrive, so it leaves me with having to park on this road which I have done so for over 6 months. Along with this all around the area there are damaged parking signs. This is the 2nd PCN I have received since getting the initial PCN for contravention 62: Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath, I have tried to avoid parking where the council seem to think the footpath begins. This seems to have worked by not receiving another PCN parked on Hoy Street since the initial one. On this occasion, I received a PCN for a different contravention, but I only noticed when leaving the next day that the pedestrian and cycle zone sign had been replaced which was previously vandalised (Image). I missed the pedestrian and cycle sign that had been installed before I parked up the night before.

I also noticed that the sign isn’t very visible at night especially when you make a sharp turn onto Hoy Street when coming up the one-way street.

I made a challenge on the 25th of March which was rejected and now I have the notice to owner.

There aren’t any signs to show you are in a pedestrian /cycle zone whilst you are on Hoy street too. Here are the images of the signs the 1) Beginning of Hoy Street which has recently been replaced. 2)Middle of Hoy street with view of the ‘end of pedestrian’ sign 3) close up of ‘end of pedestrian’ sign https://imgur.com/a/oqiCs5N

Please see the pictures of where the vehicle was parked https://imgur.com/a/MNgBkfU. Correct I go to the location often and the GSV is the same.
