Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: NEWHAM PCN APPEAL
« on: August 28, 2025, 08:26:41 pm »
Thanks for the comments, everyone.

I believe these parking spaces fall into a bit of a grey area—almost like a fishing exercise. In my view, they lack adequate signage and clear road markings. From my perspective, I assumed that as long as I was parked within the light grey-paved area and during the correct time, I wouldn’t be liable for a PCN. This contrasts sharply with the disabled parking space nearby, which is clearly outlined with white paint. I genuinely don’t understand why the council didn’t apply the same clarity to these bays.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find any resolved cases online to support my point, which is a bit disappointing.

From your professional perspective, would you recommend proceeding to the independent tribunal, or just paying the PCN while the discounted rate still applies?

Much appreciated.

Hi,

The PCN number is PN23174745.

The Google Map link is

https://www.google.com/maps/place/57+Broadway,+London+E15+4BQ/@51.5413362,0.0034399,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x47d8a78bd63d89ab:0xa6197bc688921ff0!8m2!3d51.5413362!4d0.0034399!16s%2Fg%2F11bw3h9z95?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDgyNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have covered up my plate number due to privacy issue, other than that, the details provided should be sufficient.

For the Google map location, it is 57 Broadway, London E15 4BQ.

Much appreciated.

Hi all,

I’ve been issued a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) by Newham Council under Contravention Code 62.

I submitted an appeal to the council, which was unfortunately rejected. I’m now considering whether to proceed with an appeal to the independent tribunal and would appreciate your advice.

In my initial appeal, I provided the following rationale:

- I parked during the permitted time.

- There were no clear markings on the ground indicating a designated parking space.

- I did not obstruct pedestrian access to the footpath or cyclist access to the cycle lane.

- I attempted to park as close as possible to the vehicle in front, but a light pole behind me required me to reposition my car.

- Another vehicle parked outside the grey brick area did not receive a PCN.

I’ve attached the council’s rejection letter (copied into Word), along with the photograph they took on the day, a video I recorded at the time, and a screenshot from Google Maps.

I genuinely want to understand whether I was at fault. If so, I’m willing to pay the fine. However, if there’s a valid basis to challenge this further, I’d appreciate any guidance or support.

Thank you in advance.
