       The amount outstanding on the Charge Notice will increase to
       £130.00 on Mon, 14 Oct 2024. Please pay £65.00 now.
       ****
       Please take a screenshot of the above. Where they get 14th
       October from I do not know. Also, this is a threat as it is
       telling you to cough up even before they have considered a
       challenge. In this legislation they are not obliged to do so but
       all London councils do.
       The law:
  HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/1996/9/section/4/enacted
       3)A penalty charge notice under this Part of this Act must
       state—
       (a)the grounds on which the council believe that the penalty
       charge is payable with respect to the vehicle;
       (b)the amount of the penalty charge which is payable;
       (c)that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the
       period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice;
       (d)that if the penalty charge is paid before the end of the
       period of 14 days beginning with the date of the notice, the
       amount of the penalty charge will be reduced by the specified
       proportion;

       Sp there is a procedural impropriety with the PCN online section
       where it says 14 October deadline for the discounted amount. Is
       that the basis for a challenge?

       There is no procedural impropriety in this legislation - rather,
       we would make a challenge in terms of a collateral challenge.
       This is for the Fifth Set in the game. The last Lambeth bus lane
       case I won they did not attend so the game was over. 7 PCNs
       actually.  I am just looking at the video and will get back with
       a draft challenge.

       [member=967]EmmaP[/member]:  Draft
       Online: There was no breach of the bus lane order / regulation
       Reasons:
       1. The description Mitcham Lane is too vague to satisfy the
       grounds of any contravention.
       2. The photographic evidence supplied online is so poor that I
       cannot read the times on the 959 sign even when I enlarge the
       image.
       3. The video does not show any 958 warning sign allegedly
       passed.
       4. The evidence shows the vehicle only in terms of an alleged de
       minimis situation.
       5. I put you to strict proof that the camera used at the
       location - wherever it is - has the necessary approval from the
       Secretary of State to satisfy the criterion of admissibility of
       evidence at the Tribunal. If you cannot supply such proof, then
       the contravention cannot be proved.
       In light of the above, I request cancellation of the PCN
