Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Barnet PCN double yellow line [01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours]

Thank you for your kind reply.

Yes, I am the registered keeper.

I am unclear why the term "yesterday" is causing a hangup, though I understand there are strict timelines to respond. The NtO, dated June 11th, was received by me on June 16th; I had not previously been aware of the PCN as it was not there when I drove away on May 10th.

I believe the only deadline that requires attention atm is the 28 days from the NtO dated June 11th (which is July 9th, ~2 weeks from now). I wish to get my ducks in a row before I make my challenge, so if there are any angles to support a successful appeal, I would be most grateful to receive.

Thanks again for replies.

@tincombe, the date of post was last week, so the timeline is:

Date of service (when vehicle was ticketed): 10 May
Notice to Owner (when letter was issued): 11 June

Apologies if this was unclear; I am under the impression at this point that it may be advisable to:

- write LB Barnet to at least ask for a 50% reduction, as the PCN was not on the windscreen when I returned to the car about 10 minutes later;

- provide evidence of the pre-ordered takeaway order and outline that the spot was the closest I could park to the restaurant around the corner on the Broadway.

One issue seems to remain: my understanding is that contesting on the basis of active loading/unloading only applies if a delivery/pickup is physically large or heavy, so would a lunch takeaway be reasonable grounds to have stopped for less than 20 minutes?

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply.

The food was pre-ordered, and as a Sunday it was very busy and no place to park, so the vehicle was stopped at closest available place.

Good catch about the timing - the invoice was emailed to me after I had already picked up the food; but in any case it seems the total amount the car was parked was <20 minutes, which seems to be a general maximum referred to when I searched online.

No additional loading restrictions (no addtional pain markings on kerb) as far as I am aware.

If I understand the tone of replies, it may be worth contesting on the grounds of a pre-ordered collection, though there is some question about whether the order needs to have significant weight to it?

Hello,

First time posting and wish to ask for help with a PCN received at 13:09h on May 10th near Mill Hill Broadway NW7. I did not receive the PCN on the day as presumably the ticket blew away as it was only loosely left on the dash, and received a NtO yesterday, so the PCN is now £160, dated June 11th.

Car stopped for about 10 minutes on double yellow on Sunday around 1pm to collect sushi order from around corner on The Broadway.

PCN: AG93110103
Reg: OY53JCV
Contravention Date: 10/05/2026,13:08:57
Contravention: 01 - Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours

I only use the car for school runs and unfamiliar with this area and I was not previously aware that double yellow lines were in effect on a Sunday, particularly since the car was stopped 2 meters from a “Controlled Zone” sign declaring restrictions in effect “Mon–Sat 8am–6:30pm”, which I interpreted to mean Sundays were unrestricted. Further, other cars were parked up the road (as pictured) so I mistakenly thought it was okay to park.

I have learned my lesson for future, and understand the only grounds for appeal are i) loading / unloading of heavy goods; ii) picking up/dropping off passengers, however I wonder if LB Barnet would be open to an appeal based on forgiveness given the “Controlled Zone” signage is slightly confusing? The sushi order receipt corroborates the timing of a quick takeaway pick up from the high street.

Or are there other technical grounds I may challenge this PCN?

Many thanks in advance for your kind guidance.

Kind regards,
