Free Traffic Legal Advice

we have a very similar situation, they received our appeal 13/9/23, sent a rejction of representations dated 6/11/23 (54 days later)  stating date of serving 2 days later (56 days later),  however, arrived at the address 20 days after 28/11/23, so 76 days later.  offering the chance to ay the £9 within 7 days of date of serving    we are also taking advice off this site.  so watch out yours may arrive very soon

Thanks for the reply. I called them a couple of days ago and the person said they had received the appeal on 14/09 and said they would pass the case into the relevant team. I take the point that their reply may have got lost in the post but I would assume they would have followed up I'd this had been the case and issued me a further letter. I guess I will have to wait and see.

I lodged an appeal with Bristol City Council over a PCN I received for the CAZ on 14/09/23. Given it is now greater than 56 days and I have not heard back from them can I assume the PCN is no longer valid and should be cancelled.

My original thread is here: https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/clean-air-zone-pcn-bristol-city-council-a370-brunel-way-(caz0049)/

These are the links to the PCN notice received. I hope the links now work:

Do any of the admins have a view as to whether appealing on using the first template on the thread linked to above would yield a positive result, as I note on the previous thread an admin member stated that Bristol had challenged a recent appeal which was the first time they had done so.

I recently drove to Bristol Airport and used the Waze app to avoid the Bristol CAZ. Regrettably I received a PCN from Bristol City Council this afternoon and am really annoyed with this. As you can see I was travelling very early in the morning and got lost once on my route for around 5 minutes but saw no signs otherwise I would have paid the congestion zone charge.

I note there have been a couple of similar posts from other users in recent months who have successfully appealed their PCN. Would anyone be able to review the PCN I have received and advise me whether I have any grounds for appealing the PCN.

Links to the PCN pages are listed below:

The images on page 2 other than the number plate show how foggy and unclear it was as you can only just see the number plate. The other images are essentially just lights. Could I challenge the number plate picture.

I note that there was a similar post submitted a few days ago on the forum: https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/bristol-clean-air-zone-pcn-17j-newfoundland-circus-caz0022-and-caz0025/msg4322/#msg4322

Can I use the same defence.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Imran
