Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Newham Council - Code 01 Parked in a restricted street - Aviary Close
« on: August 31, 2023, 11:46:29 am »
Hello all
I received a council PCN. Contravention code 01: Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours
The story: I was stopped on a double yellow, and just as I was about to drive off, an enforcement officer slaps a PCN on my window. Included in the evidence on the council website is a picture of my car moving away because I was so unnerved and my immediate reaction was to try to drive away. So to clarify, there are pictures of my car not being in the same spot. I drove off and stopped on another side road to see if this fine actually went through, and the amount came up to £0.00, so I thought it was invalidated either by the officer or the council website because my car wasn't pictured in the same spot. So I left it. The notice went to my leasing company, who forwarded the PCN to me (also included below)
Here is a google drive link containing the evidence: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UolvIH8_lrWGa2O_OSM8FI8u1UnH7apW?usp=sharing (No permissions needed)
Due to this, isn't the contravention invalidated because I was stopped rather than "parked", especially if I was in my car and pictured driving away? Or are there any other grounds on which I could appeal? If not, then I'll admit defeat.
Thanks in advance
