The visitor's permit on display was for 1 July, the contravention occurred on 3 July. So, not 'yesterday', but the day before.

From what I understand, your defence is that you were in the process of obtaining a permit and/or loading items into your car for transport to your new property/storage.

What evidence do you have in support of your account e.g. a book of unused VP, hire of storage unit, paperwork regarding your move etc?

I got receipts, e-mails confirming my move out, and pictures of my storage unit and stuff in my car to take back.

Start at the beginning pl. It's better with a full account because you'll need a cohesive account to succeed.

You were moving furniture into your house and 'went in to get a parking permit first.'
What parking permit and from whom?  Are you a new resident and your permit, not visitor's but resident's, was in the house?

Where had you lived previously e.g. type of property etc. and why did you have furniture in storage?

I can write an account, but no idea whether it fits the facts e.g. been living in temporary accommodation and using visitor's permits while my purchase of **** was completed. Having completed I began moving my belongings, from my home and from storage, I had already applied for a resident's permit which was inside the house etc. When the CEO saw my car on my first visit(one of many I made) I was in the process of unloading items, (**** if I recall) and was inside the house. I accept that I was displaying a used visitor's permit which I'd forgotten to take down but was in the process of doing so once I'd unloaded from this trip...etc.

Plenty of scope from your first post, but what of the above applies or is even close?...

Hello,

Yeah Sorry; It was late and I was writing this down on a whim.
I am trying to move furniture into my NEW house. So I went back to my OLD house to pick my stuff up to put into a storage unit. I parked my car, and went into my old house to pick up a visitors' parking permit. Because I did this yesterday, I had an old parking permit in the window, which I was going to replace.

I went into my house, picked it up, wrote my license plate number down and scratched the correct date just to find out I had been given a PCN.

Have you kept the parking permit that you went in to collect ? If so, submit reps on the basis you have told us include a copy of the permit.
Unfortunately I didn't. I chucked it the moment I got the ticket.

No observation on PCN which is fair enough and pics taken after PCN time.

Is that you in the last pic.

Important to counter accusation you just saw the CEO and had no intention to put on a new permit.


Yes, that was actually my friend who I was with at the time. he didn't notice the guy taking a picture of him

Hello,

I am looking for advice regarding this PCN.

I parked my car, while trying to move stuff from my storage unit to my house, and went in to get a parking permit first.

I came back to a parking ticket after a minute of observation because I had an old visitors' permit I was going to replace.


Here is an image of the PCN.

Thanks,

Andrew

Oh yeah, I use a bunch of words interchangeably.
So I just do nothing for 14 days and they'll just send me a letter?

Got a rejection on my appeal, so will be going to adjudicator.
Their letter of response is as follows:

Quote
Thank you for your correspondence received on 24 May 2026 regarding the above penalty charge notice (PCN). Your comments and the notes of the Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) have been considered.

Your vehicle was observed at 19:14 parked in a residents' or shared use parking place or zone without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying a valid physical permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for that place where required, or without payment of the parking charge in Aldworth Road.

You appealed this Penalty Charge Notice issued in Aldworth Road at 7:14pm on Sunday 10 May, explaining that although you do not dispute that no valid permit or pay-and-display ticket was displayed, you believe the signage was unclear and misleading in relation to event day restrictions, and that you had no reasonable way of knowing that the day in question was an event day. You also stated that motorists parking in shared-use bays should be able to rely on the bay signage alone and should not be expected to check CPZ entry signs or the Council website for event day information.

However, please be advised that on event days, parking restrictions within the Controlled Parking Zone are enforced between 8:00am and 9:00pm, Monday to Sunday. These additional controlled hours extend the existing restrictions and apply regardless of the day of the week. The restrictions are clearly marked on the signs adjacent to the parking bays, and details of event days are also stated on the entry signs to the Controlled Parking Zone.

It is the responsibility of the motorist to check all relevant road signs before leaving their vehicle unattended. In addition, information about event days is publicly available on the Newham Council, London Stadium, and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park websites, ensuring that both residents and visitors have access to this information and can make appropriate parking arrangements when an event is taking place.

As the Council’s records confirm that Sunday 10 May was an event day and no valid permit or pay-and-display ticket was displayed at the time of enforcement, the vehicle was parked in contravention of the restrictions in force. The signage is considered adequate to convey the restriction, and the Penalty Charge Notice was therefore correctly issued and cannot be cancelled.

In conclusion, having taken all aspects of this matter into consideration, no justification for cancelling the penalty charge notice has been found.

It's kind of a silly response for a few obvious reasons so going to adjudicator

Hello,

I am looking for advice regarding this PCN.

For context, on 10/05/2026, I was driving home from a friend’s place when my phone died during a conversation. I drove to a nearby bar to charge my phone so I could get my directions back up. I parked in an area where parking would normally be free on a Sunday.

After charging my phone, I returned to my car and found a PCN issued for parking during an event day. However, there was no signage visible indicating that it was an event day. The images provided with the PCN also do not appear to show any indication that an event was taking place.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Redbridge PCN -53j being in a pedestrian zone - Harpenden Road
« on: February 20, 2026, 09:02:21 pm »
Hello,

I was attempting to go to an address in Harpenden Road, and was aware of the traffic restriction, so aimed to get there for 9:15. I checked my watch, and it was 9:15 and was certain I didn't need to do a circle round. Once when my business was complete I went off on my way.

What I didn't realise was my watch was slightly off, and I arrived at 9:12:55, so about 125 seconds before the restriction ended. Just wondering if I have any form of recourse in regards to this.

Thanks
