Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: South Glos Council, code 71 parking in EV bay without charging, Mangotsfield

Hello

I’ve now received the TNO and am drafting a response. Are you able to give any advice on things to include please? I’ve had a look for the traffic order but not been able to find it online.

Thanks

Hello<br><br>

I’m looking for advice for a council issued parking fine. <br><br>

I parked in an EV bay at a council car park. The chargers were both faulty. There were no spaces remaining in the ‘long stay’ part of the car park (4hrs) but there were spaces in ‘short stay’. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be under 2hrs, so remained in the EV Bay. <br><br>

I was then issued a PCN. <br><br>

I informally challenged the notice confirming I parked there (🙄) but with evidence from the charger company that the machines were faulty (for almost 24hrs) for the duration of my stay in the car park. The car park is free so I haven’t avoided paying by doing what I did & no one has missed out on charging as the machine was faulty. <br><br>

The informal appeal has been rejected. <br><br>

Any advice on whether a formal appeal (given I’ve admitted parking) would likely be successful? I don’t want to miss the reduced fee period & end up paying £70 if I’ve no chance now of a successful formal appeal. <br><br>

Thanks in advance <br><br>
