Haringey Council, contravention code 34 - being in a bus lane, M
uswell Hill Broadway, London

Hi All,
My sister-in-law got a parking ticket recently and I would
greatly appreciate any help in getting it cancelled. Details:
PCN: ZN19143930
Vehicle Registration: BJ70YPG
Date and Time: 04/11/2025 09:31
Contravention code: 34 - being in a bus lane
PCN letters and sign photos: link

She pulled into the bus lane next to Perfect Smile Dentists (438
Muswell Hill Broadway, Muswell Hill, London N10 1BS) to drop her
daughter for a dental appointment, parking is allowed after 10
am in the bus lane, but it was 9:31 am. The restriction signs
were not immediately visible where she had parked, so she went
into the dentist to ask them what the parking restrictions were
and was told that parking was not allowed at that time. She then
checked the signs to confirm the restriction and moved the car.
She explained this when she submitted her appeal using Haringey
council's online portal on the 9th November 2025. In November
she also moved home, did not receive an appeal response from
Haringey (it was potentially posted to her old address, but it
was never received), and then received an enforcement notice
dated 7th Jan 2026.
I think Haringey should have responded to her appeal by email,
given that she submitted the appeal online. Also, she had set up
post forwarding to her new address but did not receive the
rejection letter. So, whether it is Haringey or Royal Mail's
fault that she did not receive the appeal response is debatable,
but it not fair to send her an enforcement notice given that she
has not received the appeal response. Is this grounds to demand
the appeal response and the usual time period to submit the PCN
to London Tribunals for review?
Secondly, assuming it is possible to insist that the PCN can be
submitted to London Tribunals, can you suggest any arguments for
re-appealing the PCN? I think:
- The argument in her original appeal that she just pulled into
a parking space, checked the restrictions and then moved the car
are valid
- Also, I don't think the bus lane warning sign after the Colney
Hatch Lane/Muswell Road meets regulations; see photo 5 in the
Drop Box link shared above
Any help greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Tom

I will deal with this tomorrow for you. Don't worry about the
initial challenge as that is not a legal necessity anyway.

What are you two ladies like? ;D
I make these formal representations against the Enforcement
Notice. The video does not prove an alleged contravention as
there is no evidence of the vehicle passing an upright sign.
Please cancel therefore.

He he, thanks [member=24]Hippocrates[/member] much appreciated.
By 'upright sign' do you mean the signs which give the
restriction times (eg Monday to Friday 7 am to 10 am)? Can you
elaborate a little bit on the legal requirement to have to pass
a sign?
Kind Regards
Tom

There is NO upright sign in the video showing bus lane
restrictions. So please use my draft verbatim and let them work
it out.

Hi [member=24]Hippocrates[/member]
My sister-in-law received a rejection letter from Haringey
council for the PCN mentioned above. I've added it my drop
folder (link
HTML https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/a4sywym6a55ty4ebxiyzc/AGepYjPlYpGwjH2jINzer34?rlkey=lh3e0roshc1tvp3447yhczfh4&e=1&st=r0txlir0&dl=0),<br
/>file 'Rejection Notice 030326'.
The prior appeal we sent them and that they responded to is
below. We'd like to send the PCN to the parking adjudicator; if
you can suggest any further points to include in the submission
to the adjudicator I would really appreciate it.
---------------
I am writing in relation to the 07/01/26 enforcement notice sent
in relation to PCN ZN19143930.
I make these formal representations against the Enforcement
Notice. The video does not prove an alleged contravention as
there is no evidence of the vehicle passing an upright sign.
Please cancel therefore.
I did not receive Haringey Council's appeal response. I moved
home in December, and set up post forwarding to my new address,
so whether I did not receive it due to an error on the part of
Royal Mail or Haringey Council is unknown. Please:
- Send all future correspondence by email rather than post -
xxxx
- Send me your original appeal response, so I have it for my
records.

Kind Regards
Tom
