Hi All
Before I pay this I wanted to check using your expertise that
the is no wiggle room on this PCN with any valid arguments.
It was parked on a residents parking street and I didn't have a
valid ticket.

The PCN increases in price on 20 March and was issued on the
27th February 2025
Thank you in advance

So why did you park there. Nothing looks wrong with the PCN
except ideally it should be a code 16 not 12.

Worth a try as a prescription is preordered.

Do not pay this please. Also, I would check the payment status
on their website which will be wrong in terms of the dates most
probably.

The dates on the website say payment by 20 March which is 21
days and not 14 days from the parking. Would you advise on what
i need to say to challenge. Thank you.

I would try mitigation first: prescription.
Then: do their photos show the car next to the sign?
Then: it is essential that a motorist knows when and what to pay
at the times as stipulated by the statutory scheme. Since your
website does not follow the scheme, this is a procedural
impropriety.
In light of the above, please cancel.

Hi
There photos do show the car next to the sign unfortunately.
Could I use this by way of a response.
Dear Southwark,
I am writing to formally challenge the issuance of Parking
Charge Notice [PCN Reference Number], which was issued to my
vehicle [Your Vehicle Registration] on [Date] at [Location].
I was parked in a residents’ parking zone for a short period
while collecting a prescription from the Tessa Jowell Health
Centre. Unfortunately, there was no available parking at the
centre, and given the necessity of collecting medication, I had
no alternative but to park briefly on the nearby street.
I would like to highlight the following mitigating factors:
1. **Unavailability of Parking at the Centre** – The designated
parking for the Tessa Jowell Centre was full at the time of my
visit, leaving me with no practical alternative.
2. **Minimal Duration of Stay** – I was parked for only a short
period, just long enough to collect my prescription.
3. **Medical Necessity** – The nature of my visit was to collect
essential medication, which was time-sensitive.
4. **No Obstruction or Disruption** – My vehicle was not causing
an obstruction or preventing residents from parking.
Furthermore, it is essential that a motorist knows when and what
to pay at the times as stipulated by the statutory scheme. Since
your website does not follow the scheme, this is a procedural
impropriety.
In light of the above, please cancel the PCN.

You can add:
The contravention on the PCN is also incorrect. It alleges the
car was in a residents or shared use place but it was in an
unspecified permit only bay.
