Wokingham Council PCN / 31j - Entering box junction when
prohibited / Easthampstead Rd

Hi
My Mrs has been hit with a PCN £70 by Wokingham Council for
Stopping in a Yellow Box outside the Fire Station, observed for
around 2 seconds - she said she had stopped out of courtesy to
to let someone ahead turn into a sideroad on her side, had
stopped for a second or so and was otherwise part of moving
traffic

Appreciate any help with grounds for appealing

This isn't a contravention as the stop wasn't due to stationary
vehicles preventing her from exiting the box.
We often see councils misinterpreting the legislation.

100%. Assuming you are the grey car (not the red) if you pay
anything to the council in respect of this you are giving your
money away.
Suggested wording below which should be sent in the name of
whomever the PCN was addressed to (i.e. the registered keeper,
not necessarily the driver):
I have viewed the video footage and while my vehicle did stop
inside the box junction, it did not have to do so due to a
stationary vehicle. Instead my car stopped voluntarily to allow
another vehicle to make a right turn.
Consequently no box junction offence has taken place and the PCN
must be cancelled.

This is the car identified so not the red one.
I think we've seen this box before - it doesn't look compliant
to me as goes back way beyond the fire station.

Thank you kindly for the responses as always. Yes she was indeed
the Grey BMW who stopped to allow those 2 cars to turn into the
side road
V5 in my name (insurance in hers). So I will make the response
Wokingham Council as advised. Seems like are trying their
🍀
Also may I ask why Attachments function seems to be removed?
Appreciate the support!

It's probable the fire appliances turning left from the fire
station would require a wide swing into oncoming traffic. Hence
box moved far enough back to allow that manoevre

Sorry Think you misunderstood - My appeal was rejected by
Wokingham Council. I had a letter of rejection from them.
I am now filing the case with Traffic Penalty Tribunal
What comments should I write on the case for Tribunal? Or just
repeat the same appeal?
