hmmm...sometimes it just seems easier to pay up than fight...I don't know if I my nerves will take it! I've emailed them for now and I'll see what the outcome is, but I don't want to lose the chance of paying it at the discounted rate of £35, I really don't want to end up paying £70!!

I'll let everyone know how I get on with the email challenge - although I think I already know what the outcome will be

I think if you're formally appealing then the discount period is deferred. Hopefully someone will be able to confirm that.

To be honest I don't think you've got a case, though...

Most councils operate that. If you appeal or request info, they usually give you 2 weeks from the date of their response.

And I agree with the above, you won't stand much chance but bets of luck!

I've now had a reply from the council and they won't let me off, as I thought BUT.......they've made a mistake in their letter by stating I still have 14 days to pay the fine of £25 but the original fine was actually £35!!!!! So thats a result of sorts eh?????
