Dear Sir or Madam,

Re: Formal representations against a Penalty Charge Notice
PCN reference: [—]
Vehicle registration: [—]
Date of alleged contravention: [—]
Location: [—]
Contravention: 48 — Stopped in a restricted area outside a school, a hospital or a fire, police or ambulance station when prohibited.

I am writing to make formal representations against the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) referenced above, which I received in respect of the vehicle named.

I am making representations on the following ground(s):
• The contravention did not occur
• Procedural impropriety by the authority
• The Notice to Owner should not have been served

My account of what happened:
[—]

In support of these grounds:
1. The contravention did not occur. Ground (a): that the alleged contravention did not occur — for example the signs or lines were missing, unclear or wrong, a valid permit or ticket was displayed, or you were not in fact parked where the notice says. Photographs of the signs, bay markings and your vehicle; a valid permit, ticket or Blue Badge; anything showing the restriction did not apply at that time.
2. Procedural impropriety by the authority. Ground (f): that there has been a procedural impropriety on the part of the enforcement authority — for example it failed to follow a step the regulations require, or served a document out of time. The notices you received with their dates; anything showing a required step was missed or mis-served.
3. The Notice to Owner should not have been served. Ground (i): that the Notice to Owner should not have been served because the penalty charge had already been paid in full, or had been paid at the discounted rate within the discount period. Your payment confirmation and its date.

I enclose any supporting evidence I hold. Please cancel this PCN. If you reject these representations, please send a Notice of Rejection setting out your reasons and confirming my right to appeal to the independent adjudicator.

Yours faithfully,
