-
Time, Date & Contravention details (FPN/PCN No. etc.).
-
The conversation – if any – that took place between yourself & the attendant Please detail every aspect of the event & the circumstances surrounding your contravention even if you think it might not be relevant, e.g.:
-
I did not throw the cigarette butt away.
-
My dog wasn’t barking loud.
-
I did not drop that litter.
-
You were only there for 2 minutes.
-
A parking ticket was displayed but slid from view.

You were parked in a relevant bay.
-
I was on private property when the alleged incident occurred.
-
No parking ticket was issued to you but you received a letter.

Did you notice other cars with parking tickets for the same offence etc.?
We will then assess the situation and your chances of success. If we believe you can win – there are those few instances where this may not be possible – we will let you know, and then you decide if you want us to proceed.
