Afternoon

Bit of history.......driver already received a previous and different PCN for exactly the same vehicle, location and circumstance, albeit 5months earlier.  On that occasion, these FORMAL REPS were submitted against the Enforcement Notice and Redbridge subsequently cancelled the PCN.

Winding forward to more current times, driver received another PCN(redacted) to which a slightly more terse INITIAL CHALLENGE was submitted.  Redbridge have declined to cancel the PCN (see INITIAL REJECTION) and I'm willing to accept that on this occasion, they might wish to see evidence of the fare/ride job card, for which a screenshot from the app will be duly provided.

CCTV footage and GSV

However....
  1)  Redbridge have completely disregarded and then incorrectly contended my point about licensed minicabs/PHVs being able to cross/stop in bus lanes to pickup passengers on the kerbside; [The website link provided no longer exists];
  2)  I'm not willing to provide evidence (i.e. the vehicle being a TFL licensed PHV) which Redbridge can easily verify themselves on the TFL website, a link to which I've already provided.  If they want money, they should work for it;
  3)  any legislation for the '10 days' in the 5th paragraph?
  4)  I'm also reluctant to send any information to an individual Redbridge employee's email address.  Am I being too cautious? and
  5)  the 6th paragraph says payment within 14days "from the date on this letter".  Shouldn't it be 'date of service' or does that only apply to the formal PCN, EN or NoR?

Thoughts, comments, advice welcome.

Thanks - NTIAEP

Hello to all

Posting on behalf of a friend...honest.

Redbridge
Challenge/View a PCN
PCN:  AF15697300
VRM:  BN66BUP

The council's photo evidence doesn't show any other bay markings......so submit "no evidence/provide strict proof" as valid reps.  Thoughts?

Answers on a postcard please.

Salutations to all from me.

and "When it rains...it pours!!!" springs to mind.

Have received another PCN, this time for the above-mentioned alleged contravention.  Details are:

PCN

CCTV footage

GSV


Will be submitting initial reps along the following lines:

1) using @Hippocrates argument of missing mandatory language pertaining to "...Para. 4 (8 ) (v) of...."
2) tree foliage on the nearside along with height of the signs did not give a clear and unrestricted view of the said signs;
3) no advance warning signs with the enforced times, just the following (see pic).  Is this a valid [regulatory] argument?

Can't use the "Term-time only" get-out clause anymore as most (not all!!) have been taped over.

Thoughts/opinions please before I shoot it off to Redbridge council.

Spoke to soon......and I'm back!!

Redacted PCN

Completely missed the sign as I was distracted by the person I was picking up on the corner.

Spot any discrepancies with this PCN or begrudgingly just cough up the discounted ransom of £80?

Thanks in advance again.

Evening All


Circumstances:
PHV (minicab) driver dropping off passengers. Simples.

Given the below, any thoughts before a similar succinct response is sent to Redbridge.

Note: PCN reissued and received in the hirer's name as the vehicle was on hire at the time of the alleged contravention.  However, been reliably informed that according the regulations, the hire company should not be able to assign the PCN for a bus lane contravention.  Not sure how this clashes/tallies with the boxed text on pg1 of the PCN.

Hi All

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong forum (Admins please feel free to move accordingly).

Q:  Where/when does a "no u-turn" sign become effective?  As soon as it becomes visible, from the signpost onwards to which the sign is affixed or does it all boil down to the TMO that is in effect?

Hello Again.....it's like buses.  You wait ages for one and two arrive at the same time.

So received another PCN in the past few days, this one via the post.  Details are as follows:

PCN No: AF08832144 (redacted .pdf available here)
Vehicle reg: SAF17A

Sep2024 GSV link

https://my.redbridge.gov.uk/parkingpcn/review

Angle of video footage does not provide anything meaningful as to the exact position of the car and you'll see from GSV that the 'bottom' section Bus Stop markings have also been deliberately 'erased' (which is still the case).  FWIW, I deliberately parked it there knowing that the Bus Stop isn't properly marked out and even then, the front wheels wouldn't have encroached the original road markings.

In addition, the PCN states location as: CRANBROOK ROAD (D)
which leads me to the following thread on FTLA CRANBROOK ROAD (A) - appeal allowed which was successfully represented by one of the forum wizards.

Unless advised otherwise, I'm just tempted to respond by simply saying that the alleged contravention didn't occur without providing any further detail.  In my initial representation, I'd also like to state that if LBR refuse to cancel the PCN, I'll be taking it to a tribunal and will be requesting costs.

Your advice/thoughts?

Thanks in advance - NTIAEP

P.S.  Can anybody please teach me how to download or find the link for the moving video from the LBR parking website?

Good Afternoon all

I won't waste my time and energy in having a rant at Redbridge council.

Currently don't have a redacted copy of the PCN, so will post when I can.  In the meantime, details are as follows:

PCN ref: AF9860190A
VRN: SAF17A

Location/Direction Junction of High Rd(Ilford) & Cricklefield Place (Westbound)

I'm very wary of the 'No U-turn' 'For 110 Yards' signs that you can see in the GSV, so in order to head back in the opposite direction (i.e. Eastbound) to then take the left turn up Aldborough Rd South (you can't take a right turn into this road when heading West), I either:

1) take a left turn into Cricklefield Place, perform a 3-point turn further down this road and then exit it by taking a right turn; or
2) take a right-turn into the private carpark of RGB Electrical, making sure that the vehicle completely leaves the road/pavement and fully enters the carpark. Entirely within the bounds of the carpark, I then either:
  a) perform a 3-point turn;
  b) turn the vehicle round in one continuous movement;
 
and then exit left out of the carpark whilst either:
  i)  having to give-way to pedestrians/other vehicles; or
  ii) in their absence, again in one continuous movement without stopping.

In this instance, the video evidence (which I can't save) provided by LBR shows b) ii) as referenced above.

Your thoughts/advice very welcome.
