Hi Everyone,
Need some advise on a PCN that i got from Redbridge council last weekend.

Basically i got called by a friend to look into a water leak in his kitchen on a saturday morning. I got there with my plumbing supplies and parked in front of his house on a SYL. I didnt realise that the area was part of the CPZ and its hours of operation included Saturdays.
I wasnt there for long, but it was long enough to get a parking ticket. :-(

I have attached the copy of PCN and the pictures that have been uploaded on the council's website. Need some comments to see if i have any grounds for appeal on this one.?

I was thinking of contesting it on the duration of observation which as per the PCN was just 1 minute (11:15 to 11:16) which doesnot seem to be enough to rule out the exceptions for loading/unloading or assisted boarding etc. (Not specially stating that i was doing any of those)

Looking at the pictures though, there are pictures spanning almost 2 minutes (11:15:52 till 11:17:40).

Would really appreciate if you can kindly share your expert opinion and suggest the way forward on this.

Thanks

the contravention did not occur and

though the council should respond to your challenge to the address you give. They will only send the NTO to the person and at the address held by DVLA


Thanks for the clarification.
In case of rejection by council, receiving an NTO and following up further with the adjudicator, will I be able to do that myself or only the registered owner can do that second level of appeal?

Observation time not a goer unless you were engaged in an exempt activity.

The challenge is too long in my view and should be more concise.

i would add a point that the bays are not signed, which means there is no indication of a live CPZ.

The registered keeper/owner is the only one who can make formal reps but you can write something for them. Who's is the RK? If a lease company it gets tricky. The PCN is not yours but the RK's.

Thanks.

RK is a friend of mine (Not a lease company). I borrowed his car for the weekend as mine was due its MOT.

Re- Obs time, isnt there any minimum Obs time guidelines CEOs need to adhere to.?.

Regarding the bays signage, i have the following statement in the text
"I have also since checked parking bays on Balfour Road and the nearby Brisbane Road which have no signs posted at all to indicate any such restrictions."
Should i update it to make it more explicit?

Let's see if we have any more views on the contents and i will then try to make it concise.

Well unfortunately your friend is going to be on the hook for this, however if he gets an NtO it is possible for you to submit a challenge providing you have his written permission. I'm not sure there's that much of a need to be overly concise, I like the reps as they've been drafted.
