The above still image from the council cctv is where the vehicle stopped, the car with the brake lights on. That was enough to get Redbridge Council excited, £160 more in the pot they thought, Mr Mustard didn't think so as there was pots of space to move forward. The PCN may have been issued by computer without a person watching the cctv or giving it much thought if they did.
Rolling back a few seconds, this was the situation on entry.
Mr Mustard made the representations against the PCN, a PCN that should not have existed.
oops, chopped the word 'spent' off the end whilst removing the client's name.
Redbridge Council put the system into reverse pretty quickly and cancelled. They could have written a more gracious and explanatory acceptance and naturally they ignored the hard part, about discipline and retraining.
Problems with some of these cases are that cars are leased and the lease company pays up and recharges the client together with an administration fee without considering if the alleged contravention is made out.
Don't stand for nonsense, give councils both (written) barrels.
The end.
