Free Traffic Legal Advice

Thanks for the response. I did call them as you suggested. Debt still not registered and I just need to keep checking as there is no time limit. I got the charge certificate on basis I'd done nothing but I had responded online after my initial appeal was refused and received an email receipt for that 2nd appeal. My intention was to go to the tribunal on basis the disabled badge was obscured but there on the dash and there were extenuating circumstances ie. Two 90 plus ladies with mobility issues that needed help on the day! Just don't want the bailiffs to suddenly turn up unannounced. Relying on post to send important info isn't acceptable imo as they have my email and that should be used as well.
Thanks for your help.

Their response is wrong.

Hi Hippocrates. Would you be able to act as my authorised representative?
Grounds of appeal? etc
Thanks.

So do I.

Hi. Today I got a Notice of Rejection of Representation related to my entering a 'school street' as noted in this thread. I've included the response and Notice of Appeal form below. Are you able to assist me with this? If so how should I respond? Thank you in advance.

Hi. I received a PCN on car windscreen back in June for non display of blue badge in a disabled bay in car park.

I appealed this online on grounds that badge was on dash obscured by time clock card placed in error on top of blue badge.
I laid out the extenuating circumstances...91 yr old mother law mistakenly placed the clock over her badge etc etc and provided time stamped photos to verify badge was in car on the afternoon in question etc.

Appeal was rejected by email on July 31st. I waited as advised until notice to owner was received in post on 29th August and made further representations with signed statement from mother in law etc. This I did online within the 28 days on 22nd September and I received email acknowledgement of my submission on the same date (22/09/25). (Screen capture of same included below)

Today I received a charge certificate for non reply to previous communications and/or non payment of PCN. The demand is now for £210. (Images of all correspondence and original PCN below.)

This can't be correct as I have received no further notification from LBH since September 22.
How should I best proceed?

Yes to both. Always personal.

Cheers.

I will draft later.

Hi.Ive read a bit more around here with particular emphasis on the argument made by Hippocrates on the PCN 'missing information' grounds for appeal.
I'll admit to finding it all a bit heavy going but I have found two separate and recent tribunal decisions where PCNs were cancelled seemingly on these grounds,(missing or  confusing information on PCN). I'll include links to those 2 tribunal judgements below.

The confusion is that whilst both appeals were successful the reasons given by each tribunal were quite different!

I will obviously have to decide in next couple of days (within the 14 day period as per PCN) whether to pay the reduced charge or appeal but will beed some help in drafting the appeal to the L.B.of Redbridge in the first instance and then assuming rejection, to the tribunal.
Do I simply lift the argument from the link you have provided?

Any help is much appreciated.

The absolutely absurd height of these signs must surely make them questionable, but the only way you'll find out is to take them to London Tribunals, pint out they are way outside a motorists normal view. Councils really shouldn't be allowed to get away with stuff like this, but they do, because most people just cough-up to get the discount.

I believe there are recommendations on sign height in the manual for road signs, but it's an awfully big document to trawl through.

I had a quick look and like you say its a big document! I will try and nail down the pertinent information later on today when I have a bit more time. Thanks

Same here. Just today got PCN in post for entering a pedestrian zone in Sydney Road Barkingside. Completely flummoxed me as the signage is quite high up and I had been parked right alongside the said road and signs and was more focused on the heavy traffic and pedestrians crossing etc 🤦🏻
It looks like the blue sign that was visible when Shah123 received his PCN back in Feb has been altered. It previously read: 'School Streets Restricted Access Term Time Only'...Sign now reads a truncated version: 'School Streets Restricted Access'. I'm presuming LB Redbridge have made the alteration in the light of the above noted successful appeals.
So I wonder if there is any longer a realistic chance of getting this overturned?
