Hello all.
Another one like this one:

Incidentally, the council initiated the 'except authorised
vehicles' to stop it being a 'rat run'. We got this letter
posted through our letterbox about it last year:

We live in the vicinity. As we're not passing through the area
but are trying to return home to the area (within 400 m of the
location say), we aren't using it as a 'rat run' ie passing
through the neighbourhood to go further a field. Doubt this
helps in any way but I thought I'd mention it just in case.
Here is the PCN:

I was wondering if the reply suggested for
HandOverMyCardToCouncil in the first link above would be valid
for my situation:

> 1. The PCN does not particularise which vehicles therefore
does not establish any grounds for the alleged contravention to
have taken place.
>
> 2. Similarly, neither does the video support your allegation.

> 3. The PCN is missing mandatory information as provided at
Para. 4 (8 ) (v) of

> legislation.gov.uk
>
>
> (v)that, if the penalty charge is not paid before the end of
the 28 day period, an increased charge may be payable.
>
>
> Clearly, this refers to Para. 4 (8 ) (iii):
>
> (iii)that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of
the period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice;
>
> Therefore, it follows that the statement: "If you fail to pay
the Penalty Charge or make representations before the end of a
period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of this
notice an increased charge of £240 may be payable” adds to the
lack of clarity by its omission. Even on its own, whether the
required information was included or not, it is also arguable
that it conflates the two periods using the word "or" which many
would view as being conjunctive. Furthermore, even if the
statement were to be interpreted disjunctively, there is still
no clarity due to the missing information. So, it follows that
it cannot possibly be interpreted disjunctively.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Best wishes,
