About Hammersmith & Fulham PCNs
Hammersmith & Fulham issues PCNs for parking, bus lanes and moving traffic, and you can view the photos and CCTV footage online before deciding what to do. The council warns that paying closes the case as an acceptance of liability, so don't pay if you intend to challenge.
How you challenge depends on the PCN. For a ticket from a parking attendant, or a bus lane PCN, you can write before the Notice to Owner or Enforcement Notice arrives (these are sent if the PCN is unpaid 28 days after issue). If you write within the 14-day discount period and the council doesn't cancel, it says it will extend a discretionary discount period; after 14 days the full charge applies. Even if that early challenge fails, you can still make formal representations on the Notice to Owner or Enforcement Notice when it arrives.
Moving traffic PCNs, and parking PCNs based on CCTV, already include the formal representation form, and you have 28 days to use it. The form lists the grounds you can rely on. LBHF stresses that if you don't return the representations form in time you lose the right to go to the independent adjudicator at London Tribunals. If your representations are rejected, the Notice of Rejection comes with the appeal form, and you can then pay the full charge or appeal. Challenge online or write to LBHF Parking Services at its Worthing PO box.
