Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Eden Grove Islington appeal rejected for using the wrong location code
« on: January 29, 2026, 10:32:59 am »
Good morning,
I am a newbie here so will try my best
.
I look after our company fleet and one of our lads received a windscreen ticket when parked in Eden Grove Islington working on a nearby site. He parked and paid in good faith on ringo using the sign in front of his van, using location 61917, ringed on the left of GSV screenshot, he was parked where the black car is in the screenshot and there was another van behind him which we now know was obscuring the sign, ringed on the right 61918 and shown in the photo.
I appealed the windscreen ticket on the website on the grounds that he had paid and attached the ringo parking session, thinking it was just another case of the handset not picking up the session. It is only when we got the rejection and the explanation of the two signs having differing location numbers that I have looked more closely and there is some clever photography which does not show the obvious sign in front of the van only a very squashed photo of the obscured one, he was parked in the middle of the distance between the two signs.
We now have the option to wait until the NtO arrives, where the penalty will be doubled, or just pay up now. The penalty falls to our drivers to pay, we pay and then deduct from their wages.
My question is do you think we stand a chance appealing again once the NtO arrives, or should we just pay now?
Below is a link to the PCN, GSV screenshot, parking session, rejection letter and GSV link
