Some info on need for suspension ending in this case - it seems
the key is that the authorisation for the suspension sign
usually says the sign cannot stay after it is no longer needed.
In this case though this wasn't in the authorisation but could
be argued from the traffic order perhaps.

So, should I change the wording of my appeal slightly?
Maybe add this at the end? "In addition, I note that under the
Traffic Management Act 2004 the authority is required to have
regard to the Secretary of State’s Statutory Guidance, which
emphasises proportional and fair enforcement."

So I sent my appeal in and have not heard anything back. I have
been to the website and when I click on payment, I see the
following:

Does this mean my first appeal has been rejected? Do I move to
the next stage of the appeals process now even though I have not
received any reply?
Thansk for any advice.

You need to phone them, because it looks strongly as if they
have, (as usual) rejected your informal challenge to the PCN,
and have sent a Notice to Owner out. Are you the owner, and is
the name and address on your V5C Registration Certificate
up-to-date ?

Yes. I am the owner and everything is up to date. I sent my
appeal in and received the acknowledgement on 27th January. So,
if they had rejected it wouldn't there have been another 14 days
to pay?
Also as per the link, I can still appeal as if it were the first
notice....

I suppose they could argue the letter went out and it is now
past that date? My suspicion is that the appeal has not been
picked up by the sytem and the fine has just ticked over to the
past 14 day period.
I'd rather not phone them as phone calls are harder to document.
There is an option to email them..or does it not matter?
I was thinking of submitting the following via email
"I submitted an informal challenge to PCN BY28005604 on 27
January 2026 and received an acknowledgement the same day.
I have not received any response to that challenge.
The online system now shows the full charge of £160 outstanding.
Please confirm:
Whether my informal challenge has been considered;
Whether a Notice to Owner has been issued;
The current procedural status of this PCN.
I look forward to your clarification."
Would that be sensible?
Thanks in advance for all the help!

From the council's website:
When we receive your appeal, it will be logged as a challenge or
formal representation (depending on how the penalty was issued
and/or how far it has progressed). We will ensure that the case
does not progress further and then write to you in due course to
let you know the outcome and how much money is due, if any.
So, they will write and will freeze its progression until their
reply is served.

Yes, that's what they should do but there have been cases of
councils claiming they have sent out documentation which has not
been received...
