Free Traffic Legal Advice

No disability. Does the 0845 route have any traction?

0845 should have traction.
Looking at the size of the venue, I'd expect a responsible parent to see that an 11yr old daughter as safely delivered to those responsible for the function she was attending.

whist waiting for the NtO, draft something around the the two points (and add failure to consider) then post the draft here for comment.

Interesting that, in the rejection letter, Croydon have changed the telephone number from 0845 3000 614 to 0345 3000 614.

Please also post a GSV link to the location.

In any case, I assume from your response that you do not believe these would be grounds for an appeal and that I should simply pay the fine and not attempt an appeal.

I would be grateful for any alternative views.

Please accept an apology for my speed-reading first thing in the morning and missing the circumstances, latching on to yr penultimate paragraph.

Given the circumstances, I think yr cases lies astride the narrow line between the statutory exemption of assisted boarding and mitigation. Whilst it may or may not succeed in an appeal to Tribunal, it is certainly worth making a challenge to Merton - if/when they reject, they should re-offer the discount.

Draft a challenge with a full account of what led to the PCN, appealing to their better nature,  and post it here for comment.

the "neighbour principle" (was it reasonably forseeable that dumping my parcel on my doorstep in plain view of the street might lead to it being stolen?),

I don't think Evri could plead it was unforeseeable especially in view of the recent rash of bad media coverage including

Hello, I have got a PCN for the same place and i had followed the advice given here previously to appeal to Croydon Local Authority but now have received a rejection. I would like to know what to do next. Sorry for re-opening this thread but didnt see updates on this from original poster on the final outcome so thought to check what to do for my case.

Appreciate your help on this. Thanks..
