PCN from LBRUT Council with incorrect contravention listed

CaptainYosemite

Hi,

Hoping I can get some advice on likely success of a formal appeal.

I received a ticket when partially parked on double yellow lines.  However the contravention listed on the PCN,  was that I was in resident parking area without displaying a permit (which was incorrect as I was just outside the resident parking zone).  There is no mention of double yellow lines in the parking ticket, apart from photographic evidence.

I have already used the informal appeal where I have provided evidence to show I was not within the resident parking zone, which they acknowledged but then said the PCN was issued for the double yellow lines.

I am thinking this can be successfully appealed on a technicality, do people agree?

Thank you in advance!

Have a read through some of the other threads there before you post your own, to get the hang of what information they need from you in your opening post - but as a minimum you will need to post redacted photos/scans of all correspondence you've received from the council (both sides, if appropriate), as they need to see all the small print.
