       Incandescent, great analysis. Quite impressive.
       Shall I get you recent photos of all the CPZ signs, that you
       made reference to, in your post?
       I have added another word to my vocabulary, "tootling".  :)

       The main thing is that GSV 2022, shows no entry signs for CPZ
       'MA' as ypu drive along that road, but is this the case in 2024
       ? So yes, take some photos to use if you want to take the matter
       further. Of course if in 2024, the signs missing in 2022 are now
       there, your case collapses.

       Which specific zone entries do you want photos for?

       You need current signage at this cross roads.
       There are no signs on the GSV view for entry to CPZ 'MA'

       Incandescent has done the hard work, but this could all be
       academic unless your hire company transfers liability to you.
       IMO, your primary task is to get them onside* otherwise you'll
       get a bill for £130/£190 or more**.
       *- discussing on the phone is less than concrete. You should
       write. (
       by all means phone and confirm in writing, but I recommend you
       don't just phone).
       **- the NTO would not offer the discount, so if they paid it the
       charge would be 130. Similarly, you have not said whether the
       £60 is applied whether they pay or seek to transfer liability,
       and as it's a charge for a service it's probably subject to VAT,
       so your total could be ££202.
       As regards the contravention, you should look at this, the
       council's CPZ map.
  HTML https://democracy.brent.gov.uk/documents/s45982/10%20-%20parking_management_review_appendix_b.pdf
       IMO, your approach should be that you were travelling northwards
       along Walm Road and apparently entered zone MA north of its
       junction with Melrose when you entered Chichele Road prior to
       turning right into Anson. A copy of the council's CPZ map is
       enclosed showing that zone MA commences at this point.
       On the day of the contravention (and now..because you'll take
       photos) there wasn't a CPZ sign alerting motorists to this
       significant change in controls. And the change is significant
       because the restricted hours of zone MA are different to those
       in zone MW(the zone you left and the last CPZ sign which you
       saw) being Mon-Sat 10-9pm and 8am-6.30pm respectively for this
       MA zone - the authority will be aware that there are 2 different
       restrictions in zone MA, the other being 10am-3pm Mon-Fri.
       ..as a basis...
       But IMO get the hire company onside first.

       [member=1857]mitaab[/member] reveal it to whom? The council has
       the VRM already and they can get the name and address from DVLA,
       the rest of us have no means of accessing the DVLA database, so
       it's not clear what point there is in hiding this information.
       I would suggest you get photos of all the CPZ signs identified
       by Incandescent, who has done a sterling job of working out
       where the applicable signs are.
       However you should not volunteer those photos in the
       representations, the burden is on the council to prove that the
       signs are there in the first place, you don't have to prove
       anything until the council discharges its burden of evidence.
       As H C Andersen says, you need to speak to the hire company and
       get them to agree to transfer liability to you, they should have
       no reason to object as it means the PCN is no longer their
       problem.

       [member=1857]mitaab[/member] as discussed, you must not make any
       more duplicate accounts or you will be banned permanently.
       If you want to have any hope of beating this PCN, you need to
       act on the advice given above.

       Hi all,
       I received the Notice to Owner from the LA, dated 19/09/2024.
       As previously requested, I tootled through the route in
       question, and I can confirm that there is no entry sign for the
       CPZ MA!
       So the GPS for 2022 is still valid, no change. I also took
       photos as well.
       I have till Friday to submit my representations. It was
       suggested that I withhold photo evidence and use it later for
       the appeal stage should the PCN is not cancelled, which is the
       norm with the LA.
       Another point I would like to use in my representations is that
       the date of issue of the PCN was 16/02/2024 and the date of
       issue of the NtO was 19/09/2024 which is more that seven months.
       Is this acceptable, even when taking into account the NtO that
       was sent first to the rent company? I would like to use this
       issue in my representations, but I don't the legal reference
       that I can rely on.
       Finally, I have received an email from the rent company agreeing
       to me challenging the PCN, and that if I win the case they will
       waiver their £60 admin fee.
       A draft of the challenge would very much be appreciated.

       Hi all
       I have received the Notice of Rejection to my representations,
       as expected. Below copies of my Reps and their NoR. They have
       not provided any evidence to refute my claim regarding the no
       entry sign for the CPZ MA. When are they supposed to provide
       evidence to support their decision?
       Your feedback and advice is much appreciated.
