Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Match day restrictions - Wandsworth
« on: June 16, 2025, 03:58:01 pm »
Thanks. Fair point re: 17th vs 18th. Yes, I'm the registered keeper, with up-to-date DVLA records.
I suppose the council's logic is that if you are not from the general area and you travel by car to a match (eg you came from Nottingham that day) you wouldn't register any change in restrictions, but you'd notice the concept of a match-day restriction from the permanent sign in place - it's a disincentive to come by car.
Here is the "next steps" text from the letter received, but also the link to the Google drive:

"Given the above, I am satisfied that the PCN was correctly issued and regrettably, you have
not established sufficient grounds for cancellation of this penalty charge. As your enquiry was
received within the discount period the amount of £70.00, will be accepted if payment is
received within 14 days of the date of this letter.
To make a credit or debit card payment please call our 24 hour automated payment line
on 0800 021 7763 or pay online by visiting www.wandsworth.gov.uk/pcnonline.
Alternatively, your cheque or postal order should be made payable to “Wandsworth Borough
Council”, clearly identified with the Notice number written on the reverse side and sent to:
Wandsworth Borough Council (Parking), PO Box 521, Twickenham, TW1 9PJ.
If payment is not received as detailed, I shall assume that you wish to pursue the matter and
shall arrange for a Notice to Owner to be sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle so that
formal representations may be made. Should these be rejected, the registered keeper of the
vehicle will then be afforded the opportunity to appeal to the Parking Adjudicator.
I should point out that, should you decide to take this course of action, on the expiry of the
discount period you will forfeit the right to pay the Penalty Charge at the lower rate and the
full charge of £140.00 will be due.
If you are not the registered keeper of the vehicle e.g. the vehicle is a company or lease/hire
vehicle, or being used with the owner’s consent, I suggest you advise the keeper that a
Notice to Owner (NTO) will be issued.
The options are therefore to pay the PCN or follow the statutory process to submit a formal
representation as explained above. Any further information or evidence for the Council's
consideration should only be included as part of the formal representation made by the
registered keeper. Any additional communication received prior to the issue of the NTO will
be filed for information purposes only without a response, although it may be considered if
formal representations are received.
This concludes the Council’s dealings in this matter at this stage".
