Having spent a few hours researching the winning appeals on the tribunal website, one thing is very interesting...

The council's video camera faces the rear of the traffic signs so the details on the signs are not visible (and instead relying on outdated Google Maps images). Adjudicators have ruled against Harrow council when their is an onus on the council to prove whether the sign was visible, especially during low visibility conditions.

On a separate thought, I'm surprised Google have not sued councils for using their map data free of charge.

Hi there,

My virtual permit was expired - I was away on holiday with the car when it expired and got a ticket with code 12 the morning after returning home. The previous permit expired on 25/06/2026 23:59 and the contravention was on 06/07/2026 09:22.


Two things I was thinking to appeal on the basis of, wondering if I could have some advice on whether it is worth doing for either reason.


1 - When I renewed my permit (via the MiPermit app) the virtual permit states it is valid from 00:00 the day of renewal. The contravention was at 09:22. Although the ticket was issued before I renewed the permit, does it count for anything that the validity of the permit itself was from 00:00 of the same day and thus was valid at the time of the contravention?


2 - The code issued was code 12, however I believe from reading elsewhere the correct code to be used when a permit has expired (virtual or otherwise) is code 19. As my PCN is stated as a contravention of code 12, is it invalid?


I raised an informal challenge with the council already for two issues when I received the yellow sticker ticket - one was the 00:00 validity mentioned above, which was rejected. Another was for a second ticket they gave me around the same time because I had moved my car outside my house to load things in and deal with the permit expiry (so, whilst I was in the house renewing the permit, they officer came back and gave me another ticket!). However, they cancelled this second ticket out of 'goodwill'. I did not realise about the code 12 vs 19 issue when raising the informal appeal.


I had an email today stating my informal challenge was rejected, and if I dont pay within 14 days Notice to Owner will be sent where formal representations may be made. I can paste the full email for this if helpful.

Website is ok. Signs aren't in my opinions as they are placed in such a position as to be missed.

Can you post up the PCN?

I have a hearing on Wednesday a.m. if anyone wishes to observe. I am representing. You can call the Tribunal and simply ask for an observation request.

I have been to the area today and there is a cctv camera which should cover the junction of Woodford Rd and Dames Rd. How can we access the footage.
please advise.
thanks.

The DYLs apply to the whole of the road, including pavements and verges. Essentially up to the property line.

Post up the PCN (both sides) and our experts may spot a procedural get-out. Only redact your name and address.
