Free Traffic Legal Advice

There does not appear to be a “period of parking” on the notice. Wait for others to input because there may be other failings. If so, appeal as the registered keeper without identifying the driver on the basis of non-compliance with PoFA 2012 so that the registered keeper can not be liable.

You cannot take any action within parking procedures because the penalty charge has been paid by the registered keeper. Whether they had the right to do this contractually after providing you with a 'Letter of Authority' is not a parking matter.

If you still want to carry on then as I suggested earlier you could write to the authority, state you're the hirer and prove with the Letter of Authority and original invoice and request they send you a PCN in your name so that you could deal with the council directly as opposed to on behalf of Enterprise.

I wouldn't hold out much hope, but if you don't try!
 

Whatever you did prompts me to “sign in” to Google Drive. Which I’m not going to do.

Apologies for the delay. Councils evidence can be found here.

What are your grounds of appeal?

Signage. There's no way it were adequate or visible at point of entering the road.

You keep referring to driver

Apologies, used to appealing private tickets. In this case driver were my partner. I'm faithfully representing their experience here.
I'm aware of stopping rules, however my understanding is that it were a van driving in front, easy to concentrate on road ahead and miss the small sign.

Can't access any previous posts, so to be clear: were you the driver and are the PCN and NOR addressed to you by name?

No, as stated above. Everything addressed to my partner.

UPDATE: Hearing scheduled for 16th of this month.

Do you have the council's evidence?
What are your grounds of appeal?
You keep referring to driver, but this is owner liability therefore there is no point in concealing the driver's details. In fact the opposite can apply. If you were not the driver then you don't have any first-hand knowledge which IMO would severely weaken your case as regards the claim that the advance sign was obscured. I assume you know that 'large van/delivery vehicles' are not permitted to stop within the controlled area(zig-zags) which is where(and possibly why) this sign is sited. There are limited exceptions, but loading etc. is not one of them.

And if you weren't there anyway..then the adjudicator has the objective evidence of signage only. But maybe a procedural knight will ride to your rescue, hence Hippocrates' questions.

You're committed now anyway, so it's a case of making the most of what you've got.

Can't access any previous posts, so to be clear: were you the driver and are the PCN and NOR addressed to you by name?

"the penalty exceeded....." matches your circumstances where the PCN fails to identify the traffic type that is barred by the sign.

Apart from that your previous reps to the council normally suffice, but see Tincombe's post. Better if he boosts your reps than me.
