Penalty Charge Notice from Ealing council

YOUWEE

This forum previously helped me challenge a PCN successfully. Now, a friend is facing a similar situation. I'm posting on his behalf, hoping for expert guidance.

 

My friend, a Northolt resident since August 2023, recently entered a restricted zone on his two-wheeler. The zone, located less than half a mile from his home, is accessible only to permit holders during specific hours in the morning and afternoon. As a result, he received a PCN for entering the zone.

 

Previously, he owned a two-wheeler that was registered with the School Street scheme. However, following an accident last year, he had to replace the vehicle. Unfortunately, he forgot to register his new two-wheeler with the School Street scheme. Had he registered it in time, he would have been exempt from receiving the PCN.

 

I am sharing some keynotes below:

 

Contravention date - 10th Dec,2024

Location of Contravention - Priors Farm Lane UB5 (U) (Ealing council)

Notice - 18th Dec, 2024

Appeal rejected on 21st Jan

Two wheeler got registered with School street on 28th January, 2025.

Charge Certificate issued - 25th March, 2025

 

He now has 14 days from the issue date of the Charge Certificate to pay £190. We're seeking expert advice to determine if there's any possibility of reducing or nullifying the charge or paying full charge is the only option for him. Screenshots are attached for reference.
