Islington PCN Code 12 Parked in Shared Use Place - PCN issued 2
mins after Ringgo parking session began
DIR By: petrolhead48
Date: April 8, 2025, 9:15 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi All,
Received the below PCN today. I paid for parking here by calling
the number on the sign which was Ringgo. My paid parking session
began with Ringgo at 12:18, for 35 minutes, until 12:53. Came
back to find the PCN on the car which had a timestamp of 12:20,
2 minutes after my paid parking began.
This is where I was parked:

VAT receipt from RingGo showing parking session duration below,
as well as some photos from the council's website which are all
timestamped 12:20 or 12:21.
Obviously I'd like to appeal this, just want to make sure I get
the wording right.
Many thanks in advance

Assuming the session is for the correct location, which looks to
be the case, and that it is indeed a shared use bay, which it
is, you don't need anything more than the below.
Were you by the car when you started the session - the CEO
spotted it at 20:14.
-------
The contravention did not occur as I had paid for parking at the
location at the time of the PCN.
Please find attached the RingGo receipt that shows the parking
session started at 12:18 and the PCN time is 12:20.
I look forward to early confirmation of cancellation.

Thank you. I probably walked off from the car a minute or two
before the session started as I was on the phone to RingGo

Time is always allowed to purchase parking time, either from a
machine or by phone. If it wasn't nobody could park legally !
The time must be reasonable in the cirumstances.

Is it worth me saying anything about this in the initial appeal,
or just go with what Stamfordman suggested above?

Just put in something like "at the time the CEO served a PCN, I
was engaged in making payment to park via Ringgo. As you are no
doubt aware, a reasonable time is allowed to make payment after
parking the vehicle."

No - this isn't such a case. The parking session was started 2
minutes before the issue of the PCN so this is irrelevant.
The contravention didn't occur. That's it.
