Hi ,
I have received PNC on BROOKWOOD ROAD, Hounslow, London. "Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any part of a road other than a carriageway" My car was on a grass next to the footpath, as seen in pictures there was no sign of "NO Parking area" or anything. No yellow line on the road, also my car tyre was not on the footpath. No signs of parking in start of road as well. Tickets observed from : 10:14 to 10:15. I want to appeal against this , can someone please advise some tips on it. I have attached copy of PNC and also the Car on location of PNC! |

Yes, i do agree, thats the reason i am not having any reply from the council, i will wait another day or two and after that i will pay the ticket as end date is 10th of march for discount pay.
When they do reply, check to see if they have still "held" the original discounted amount - and paste exactly what they write on here again. I find it odd they didn't even bother to acknowledge the point about the Flawed wording - but I suppose that's their problem, as you have now batted it back at them - and I would suggest you keep pointing that point out (if they keep failing to acknowledge it) - EDIT - and hopefully as in my (friend's) case, Hounslow Council may get bored and give up. It is a dangerous tactic to try and circumvent the statutory process. once the council issue a notice of rejection of representations the onus is on the Op to pay or appeal. the council do not have to respond. If the Op does not follow process then it could end with bailiffs at the door. It must be remembered that since the date of that decision, there have been high court cases that have ruled that substantial compliance is the test. That the wording of a PCN does not have to slavishly follow the regulation but must convey the meaning of the regulation when read as a whole So that case is somewhat behind the current high court reasoning |

And the back of the PCN;
And your challenge; And their reply. OP, please, please, we need to see the docs themselves, not your take on them. We don't ask this of OPs for our entertainment and we appreciate that it takes effort, but that's the process. We know what docs must contain, you don't; and we know what they must address, you don't. |
