Sorry, but it causes much confusion to have two threads about the same PCN, so can you press the "Report to moderator" button and get this lot transferred to your original thread.

Done! Apologies for the confusion.

Thank you stamfordman.

The address is completely correct. Notice to Owner received no problem.

Will keep an eye out for the order for recovery. Can I request a copy of the NoR from the council?

Hello again!

Apologies in advance for a somewhat lengthy post (tried making it as clear as I could)

Original post: https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/islington-code-21-parking-in-a-suspended-bay-or-space-roman-road-n7/

PCN etc.: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZX59fw4HOti5WvIovEEjfD-PDGd9F92N?usp=sharing


TIMELINE:

23 July - PCN issued

6 August - informal challenge submitted (online)

12 September - informal challenge reject (email)

13 October - Notice to Owner issued (post)

9 November - formal representations submitted (online)

4 January - 56 day limit for Islington to respond elapsed

6 January - Charge certificate dated 5 January received (post)


I did not receive a Notice of Rejection and couldn't find anywhere whether a NoR is supposed to come in the post or by email - I've been checking both pretty regularly, particularly the last couple of weeks, knowing the deadline was coming close.

A quick google search tells me to wait for the next letter - an Order for Recovery and make a witness statement which will reset the PCN. My position is that Islington failed to respond within 56 days, missed the deadline (not inconceivable over Xmas) and therefore the PCN should be cancelled. Would that be valid?

Thanks!

Thanks for the swift reply!

I did leave the house on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday but didn't notice any signs. It is not inconceivable I missed it however I find it hard to believe as it's well in my line of sight regardless of the way I'm coming from.

As per the islington council website "Advance Warning Notices will be at the location requested where possible 10 days before the suspension starts, but we cannot guarantee the area will be kept clear." (available here: https://www.islington.gov.uk/parking/parking-permits/suspend-a-parking-bay/suspension-of-parking-bay-terms-and-conditions). Is it reasonable to assume the sign should have been up 10 days prior to the 23rd and Islington Council should have evidence of that?

Hello,

Would love to see if someone could help with a PCN from Islington Council, Code 21 - parking in a suspended bay.

I parked my car about a month ago and haven't moved it since. The parking bay is next to my house so whenever I leave the house I have good visibility of the signage and I tend to keep an eye on the parking bay to make sure I don't miss a bay suspension. That's why I find it really strange that I missed the sign this - it almost makes me think they put it up very recently and immediately started ticketing.

What's the best angle of attack here? Requesting any evidence from Islington Council that the sign was put up in time? Would the fact that the parking warden observed my car for 2 mins only (based on the timestamps on the pictures) be of any relevance?
