56 day limit for council to respond

Does the 56 day limit apply to moving traffic PCNs? As in the
council needs to respond in that time otherwise the reps are
considered accepted.

The 56 day limit is for responding to formal reps to a parking
PCN.
With moving traffic an informal rule of thumb is 3 months, after
which an adjudicator may find for you owing to unreasonable
delay.
If you want help post the materials and amend the title as per
the read this first sticky.

Thank you - I'm fine with challenging, just wondering about the
56 day rule.
I got a PCN with Havering.
On their website
HTML https://www.havering.gov.uk/parking-2/parking-tickets-traffic-fines/2,<br
/>they say "We have up to 56 days to process your appeal and we
will write to you once it has been processed.". It does not
specify about it being a moving traffic PCN or not.
And in my challenge, I received an email receipt saying "Please
keep this for your records, we aim to respond to your
correspondence by post or email, within 56 days. In the
meantime, your case is on hold.
London Borough of Havering".
It seems legally as you said it only applies to parking but
wondering if the above holds any grounds for cancellation.

Unfortunately not. If you scroll up from 6, you'll see that4, 5
and 6 are all parts of chapter 2, which applies...
"...where a person—
(a)is served with a notice to owner, or
(b)is served with a regulation 10 penalty charge notice and the
penalty charge to which it relates has not been paid."
To find the definition of a "regulation 10 penalty charge
notice", you need to go to regulation 10 here:
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/71
where you'll find a
cryptic phrase saying the regulation only applies to moving
traffic conventions if they are "OGL moving traffic
contraventions". If you then go up to the definitions you'll
learn that OGL means "Outside Greater London". As Havering is
part of Greater London, your PCN is under a different set of
regulations.
