Parking contravention 62...confused!

[Littlepeahead]

That's what I meant, photos of the ticket on the bike to show it had been ticketed.

Sorry, just read that further up.

Back home from my nightshift and I've had a chance to do some googling.

The letter I've received is not a PCN, but a Notice to Owner stating that a PCN was issued. After wondering for a while why there was a photo of my handlebars, I can just about make out something wrapped around the throttle.

So, it seems a PCN was put on my bike early in the morning (about 15 mins after I left for work), but it most certainly wasn't there by 2pm that afternoon as I walked past the bike on my way home from work and would have seen it.

Anyway, I'm going to get some sleep then contact the Parking and Transport Appeals service to see if there is anything that can be done about missing the deadline to pay £55 and instead having to pay £165.

that says you can't park a bike on a pavement in Brent.

unless your street is exempt on that list.

As for asking for reduced/cheaper payment, just ask them.

Google;

Hey,

Ok, from what I can gather, regardless of whether officers have said in the past this is ok, in any area of London this is illegal. If you parked on the kerb, you'd be fine though apparently because this is not the pavement, or road - haha!

If you have a sign somewhere dictating parking on the pavement is ok, you can appeal this contravention, otherwise you'll have to pay it.

They do not have to provide images of the bike with the ticket on it, the pictures are solely there to provide evidence of the bikes wheels on the pedestrian footway.

You could tell them you never received the first notice or ticket, and dispute paying 150% but that's about it I'm afraid. Sorry.

Hope this helps.
