Hi all, I’m looking for advice on how to proceed with five PCNs from Southwark Council which I believe have been issued in error.
All five PCNs were issued using CCTV / ANPR and relate to the same general area and similar times. I live near Heathrow and do not travel to or work in the Southwark area.
I am an Uber driver. For one of the PCNs, I have clear independent third-party evidence from Uber showing that at the alleged time I was actively completing a trip in West London. This directly disproves that PCN and makes it impossible for my vehicle to have been in Southwark at that time.
This leads me to believe the registration has been mis-read and incorrectly attributed, and that the remaining PCNs arise from the same ANPR error. Some of the council evidence consists only of black-and-white infrared images, and the other videos and stills are very vague. The vehicle shown is a black Kia Niro, which is very common in London and not distinctive.
On most of the other dates I was not working as an Uber driver and was at home near Heathrow working my other job, which explains why there are no Uber trip records for those times.
I would appreciate advice on whether disproving one PCN is sufficient to undermine the reliability of the remaining PCNs, whether I should challenge all five on that basis, and whether this is the type of case that is commonly overturned at London Tribunals if the council rejects the representations.
I have not paid any PCNs and I am within time to make representations. Happy to upload redacted documents if needed.
Thanks in advance.
