NEVER, ever, opt for a decision on papers. Always for a personal
hearing (telephone or face-to-face). The appellany can then
answer any questions from the Adjudicator and make any points he
needs to raise.
Begin your wording with something like
I rely on my earlier representations and this summary...
then end with something like
There may well be further points I wish to make in response to
the authority's Evidence Pack...

I suspect most adjudicators would have expected most appellants
to research things.
If you cannot submit online, the post 1st class at any post
office and get a (free) proof of posting.
Keep a hard copy of the completed appeal form.

Thanks for the information, John - I will ask for a personal
hearing. The only problem would be that I am moving house and
may be tied up with that when the hearing takes place. I'll have
to think carefully about what dates to put down. I may well send
the letter first class signed for as I will then be certain it
has arrived.

You can do it by phone, and ask for a new date if you can't make
it as long as you give them notice.

Proof of posting means it is deemed in law delivered two days
later.
You can always phone after a couple of days and check it has
arrived.

Thanks for the advice, stamfordman and John - doing it by phone
would be the best solution as it means I can remain local when I
need to be making plans about moving.
Thanks too for the advice about posting letters, John.

Success! TFL have decided not to contest the appeal and have
cancelled the PCN!
The restrictions in place O/S 485-493 Bromley Road BR1 are:
No Stopping Mon-Sat 7am - 7pm Except 7am-4pm parking 1 hour No
return within 2 hours
The signage in place was initially reported missing on 2
November 2023 and was replaced with incorrect signage on 8
November 2023. This was reported as incorrect and changed to No
Stopping Mon-Sat 7am - 7pm Except 10am-7pm parking 1 hour No
return within 2 hours on 27 June 2024. It should be noted, as
the signage in place is incorrect, maintenance is in progress to
correct it.
I have been advised that the signage in place was incorrect on
the date you incurred a PCN, and this has therefore been
cancelled.
This is a shame as I was looking forward to the hearing! I hope
other people have not just paid up!
Thanks again to all who helped!

The signage in place was initially reported missing on 2
November 2023 and was replaced with incorrect signage on 8
November 2023. [we failed to notice this with even the most
rudimentary of checks FOR SEVEN MONTHS] This was reported [nice
euphemism, but I wonder what it means] as incorrect and changed
to No Stopping Mon-Sat 7am - 7pm Except 10am-7pm parking 1 hour
No return within 2 hours on 27 June 2024.
I hope other people have not just paid up
What do you think?
You could leave matters and move on. Or you could put their feet
to the fire and possibly even get penalties repaid to others.
