       Hi everyone. I'm not sure if someone is able to help me?
       I received a council PCN from Islington (code 12) for parking in
       Moreland Street, Zone A. The PCN states “parked in a residents’
       or shared use parking place without a valid permit or payment.”
       At the time, I did pay for parking via RingGo and have a receipt
       covering the full period which the customer paid for (payment
       started before the observation time and was active when the PCN
       was issued). I challenged the PCN with proof of payment during
       the warden waiting period before issuing a ticket.
       Islington rejected the appeal, saying that although payment was
       made, the bay was actually a business permit holder /
       pay-by-phone bay, and that a resident visitor permit is not
       valid there. However, this is not stated on the PCN itself,
       which only refers to "residents/shared-use parking". The council
       introduced the “business bay” argument only in the rejection
       letter. I was in fact parked in a business bay which the
       customer assumed their parking voucher would cover.
       I now have the option to:
       Pay £80 at the discount, or
       Wait for the Notice to Owner and make formal representations /
       go to tribunal
       Question:
       Based on the mismatch between what the PCN alleges from the
       warden (residents/shared-use) and what the council later relies
       on (business bay), plus the fact that parking was paid for, do I
       have a reasonable case to continue to appeal — or is this one
       better to pay at the discount?
       Any views appreciated.
