Dear XXX
This is a legal document called a Notice of Rejection
Penalty Charge Notice (parking ticket) number XXXX
Date Given 14/05/07
Vehicle Registration XXXXXX
Thank you for making representations about the removal of your vehicle.
This vehicle was seen parked in a restricted area located in Sidney Road, N22, indicated by a single yellow line and where the associated restriction sign shows that parking/waiting is not permitted at this time therefore a PCN was correctly issued.
In your representation you have challenged the decision to issue this notice to your vehicle on the basis of the poor quality of the road markings at this location. According to the attendants notes and this is supported by photographic evidence taken at the time the PCN (extract attached) was issued the road markings and associated signs identify the the parking restriction that operates here. In the circumstances I have to advise you that I am satisfied that the PCN was given correctly under the law and therefore a refund will not be made.
With regard to the removal of your vehicle the RTA 1991 gives the council a wide discretion in the enforcement of parking restrictions. In addition, to issuing a PCN, it may decide to immobilise and remove the vehicle. Therefore, if the vehicle is parked in contravention of any restriction (subject to limited exceptions) the owner has no grounds to complain about he method of enforcement.
You may appeal against this decision to an independent adjudicator. To do this you must before the end of 28 days beginning with the date that this letter was delivered complete the enclosed application form and send it to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service.
If you want to appeal please read the guidance notes attached to the appeal form enclosed with this letter, then complete the form and send it to PATAS PO Box 1010, Sutton SM1 4SW. Please do not send the appeal form to us. The adjudicator will onsider your appeal and make a final decision. Please note that an adjudicator has the pwer to award costs against someone making an appeal who acts vexatiously or frivolously or who is wholly unreasonable in making the appeal. Equally the adjudicator may award costs against the authority (same reason stated).
========================= ====================
I am now ready to lodge my Appeal to PATAS (personal hearing). Any comment especially on 28 days issue on the Clamping/Removal Document and Notice of Rejection.
Thanks
Howard
