Hi My son and daughter in law have been isued an eviction notice by the landlords of the flat they are in, since my son's grandmother died. They were living with her, as my d-in-law was a full time care assistant for her. They have applied to be rehoused by the council who want to rehouse them outside of the borough to an area that is very far away.They have been told that if they refuse the offer of housing thay will be making themselves intentionally homeless. What options are open to them now? Can anyone help? They have a 10 month old baby who is looked after during the day by her mother, nearby, so that she can look for work (she works at present on a casual/temp basis locally) Best wishes

here the no stopping times are specifically stated so the 'no stopping' restriction doesn't apply at certain times of the day ... as at the time I stopped

thanks ... I'm up to the adjudication step now ... I finally feel understood .... appreciate everyone's comments ... they are helping to clarify things

I wasn't parked.... I stopped ... there's a difference ... and the ticket is for a 'stopping' not for a parking offence ...

Then shouldn't it say 'on the dates indcated by sign' ? Or 'no stopping at times outside of those indicated by sign' .... to me it is confusing ... anyone else see it my way or should I just give in?

But what I see is that the 'no stopping' relates to certain hours only (at times indicated by sign) .... are you saying the 'no stopping' applies 24/7 ?

The contravention is "stopped where prohibited on a red route or clearway" . My contention is that I was stopped outside of restricted hours ... the ticket doesn't relate to parking or loading as far as I can see ... at the bottom it says "no stopping at times indicated by sign"

Hi I received a PCN some time ago issued inder contravention code 46 (stopped or prohibited on a red route or clearway) which I don't think applies. Thew vehicle was recorded as being stopped at 20.21 on 07/08/12 which as far as I can see is outside of the restricted hours on the sign (pic below). Their photo evidence shows the car is inside a parking bay. Outside of the bays is a single yellow line. There are no red lines on the road and there atre no signs saying the usual 'no stopping 6am-midnight'. So I challeneged the notice. The wording of my challenge was this: I am writing to challenge penalty Charge Notice xxx The alleged contravention did not occur because code 46 (which refers to a vehicle being stopped where prohibited on a red route or clearway) did not apply at the time and date that the vehicle was stopped. The sign clearly shows that the clearway restriction is limited to certain times only for 2 hours in the morning and 2 and half hours in the late afternoon/evening. I have included a picture of the sign which shows the times at which the restriction was in place The vehicle (reg xxx) was recorded as stopped at 20.21 on 07/08/12, i.e outside of the restricted hours On this date the sign clearly indicates (by the words “No stopping at times indicated by sign”) that the clearway/no stopping restriction only applied between the hours of 8am to 10am and from 4pm to 6pm Since I was stopped outside of these restricted hours then no contravention took place and therefore would appreciate your cancelling of the PCN. PS There are no signs in the vicinity of the vehicle , from corner to corner with a 6am-midnight clearway restriction, so your claimed photo evidence is invalid. All 3 signs in the area show the same 2 to 2and half hour restriction as the photo enclosed. "> They have since written back to say that this PCN is an instant contravention, not requiring any period of observation before the issue of a PCN and that they have considered the grounds of my representation and "have to advise you that we have found the notice to have been correctly issued" ... I am now confused ... either they are not listening or I am missing something ......so would really appreciate your help right now ... should I just give in and pay (the higher fee by now) ? Cheers
