Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Somerset Council - Code 85 - Parked in a bay without displaying valid permit, Great Ostry Service Yard
« on: October 29, 2025, 09:36:02 pm »
The house was changed a couple months before, when I corrected the address with DVLA. I did not know that this would not change the V5C address. I corrected the V5C as soon as I realised after a call with them.

I don’t know if it was a service yard. I saw “FREE PARKING”.
I only saw a person wearing florescence approaching the car. When I drove away he got a phone out. That’s all I know so I don’t know if there was any PCN preparation or just, as I suspect, making a photo of a moving car.

I am trying my best to get duck’s in a row, things are very tough. I spend a long time away from home caring for my sick father with little time to go and I myself suffer with various diagnosed mental health disorders. I also have countless Somerset council Bristol CAZ fines which have also gone to the wrong address and are for sure passed the deadline.

Please can you advise what steps I should take? How do I get it back to the PCN stage?
Do you know if it is possible to write to Somerset council to group together all PCNs and I work through it all with an individual and reasonable adjustments to time?

Thanks!

I mean - Is it worth challenging when its under 1 second? Maybe 0.9 seconds is within error of a district threshold? I have no knowledge on this.

This information is from a NIP. I am returning the Section 172 statement tomorrow.
I don't know if this will result in prosecution in court but I have received the NIP.

Alleged Offense: Fail to comply with Red Light Signals - Automatic Equipment

Time into Red: 0.9 Seconds

Location: A501 Euston Rd j/w Gordon St W/B NW1

Questions:
Is it reasonable to dispute less than 1 second?
Are there thresholds for certain districts?
Can automatic equipment error be a factor here?
Can this be defended?

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Islington Parking Services PCN - 52JM Failing to Comply with a prohibition on Motor Vehicles
« on: October 26, 2025, 05:16:42 pm »
Location: Islington - Colebrooke Row

I came to park on this road, I parked up, called to pay parking, the automated service stated 30 gbp for 2 hours for the diesel car. Too much.
I saw a parking officer 20 meters away, I asked him where i can park, he told me to go a little further down the road, 50 meters just the other side of 'those flower beds' (...protruding from the curb, into the road).<br>
I drove there, 50 meters, parked just the other side of the flower beds. I called the parking charge, same price. He lied to me, but I bit the the bullet, paid 30gbp for 2 hours!

Little did i know, the officer didn't just lie to me, the flower beds form part of a no-go for motor vehicles. Only push bikes. This information came to me in this PCN.

There are 2 PCNs, 1 for going through to park, and 1 when returning through it after parking.

I have written to the council to ask for 'reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010' giving the reasons why. I requested more time to respond, much clearer explanations and communication by email.

I later received an no-reply email and 2 identical letters through the post suggesting I speak to a GP or go to Samaritans, along with time constraints bringing each fine from 80gbp to 240gbp.
So now they are demanding 480 gbp for this alleged offense.

Is there someone who can help me? I will attach below what i have.
