       The council has sent a letter with the photos. Snipped and
       pasted below.

       Wait for any others but pay the discount. Don't miss the
       deadline.
       The second photo seems to show she is pretty much totally over
       the dropped kerb. It's difficult to be certain with little othe
       reference.
       The remaing photos look as though they are the sill area. A full
       side on shot from across the road would have been helpful but
       photos aren't a requirement anyway.
       A bit of a clincher to me is to look at the sat photo on GSV.
       The location of that manhole can be made out, it's just before
       the dropped kerb
       In this case the location argument would be very weak I think.
       About a car length behind her is a sign saying Sherringham
       place. A little in front Lindrick terrace, and at the bottom
       another saying Sherringham.
       She looks to be in time - just - to pay at the discount  (Sun
       24th, best not to leave it too close just in case of any issue).

       To put the 'incorrect location' into perspective..
       The prohibition is statutory unlike most issues we see here
       which are related to council traffic orders which would need
       exact locations or reference points. Given this and the fact
       that the driver knew where they were then IMO an adjudicator
       would be loathe to allow an appeal on the basis that there's
       some ambiguity about whether the car was 6 inches into ** which
       is an extension of ***.

       You can't really miss any deadline with a roadside PCN:
       virtually without exception councils reoffer the discount at the
       notice to owner stage if a formal representation is made within
       the first 14 days, so personally I'd never advise anyone to pay
       anything at the informal stage.
       [member=356]student.223[/member] if this has not been paid
       already I'd recommend you wait for the notice to owner. One
       thing to bear in mind for these provincial councils is that most
       really struggle from a procedural standpoint, as they get so few
       appeals that their processes are seldom tested.

       And not just processes; they seem to have never read any of the
       actual regulations at all ! Of course they continue to rake in
       the money because so many people just cough up when their
       informal reps are rejected, and never bother taking matters
       forward.

       Thank you for this.
       I had passed on the above information so she might have already
       paid. I have asked her. Just awaiting a response.
