Expired Permit PCN query

Hello everyone,

I have had a look about the forum and can't see if this is covered, so here is my question.

I live in an area that has a residents parking area controlled by VCS. Today (1st Oct) my permit says it expires and I was given a ticket. But my point is, if something says it expires on X date, I thought that meant the ticket/permit/whatever was valid until midnight that day.

Would I have valid grounds to appeal?

Thanks muchly.

    Note they have just joined the IPC.

    However, I agree with you - 1 October doesn't end for a few hours yet.

    Big complaint to permit issuer - you should have new one ahead of time.

    You need to take photos of the signage NOW as they will likely be old BPA-style (breach) signs, but you may well find yourself needing to appeal this to the IPC IAS. Please do this urgently; it could turn out to be very important!

    Keep the photos safe until you see the next VCS move.

    So wait for the NTk to arrive before you put in first appeal and wait to see what the so called offence is on it!

    And in the meanwhile get complaining to the issuer, because tomorrow you will have a problem if you don't have new permit.

    When received,my ou need to let us know if the NtK refers to the appeals process, and specifically whether it mentions POPLA or the IPC IAS.

    Seconded - those photos will be invaluable at IAS stage.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
