@BHCC_Transport @BrightonHoveCC Done. I look forward to a response.

Endless promises of a response. But no actual response.

Hello @BrightonHoveCC, Any chance of a response to our penalty charge notice appeal posted 15/7/2021? Given your traffic warden hid the notice under our campervan bonnet where we found it months later… And given we’d displayed a ticket but inadvertently parked in the wrong bay.

@BHCC_Transport @BrightonHoveCC Just to be absolutely clear, the PCN no. is not recognised by the online form you suggest (as outside time limit) so won’t submit. The phone no. we were given in this Thread doesn’t accept calls re appeals. And no response to our written appeal posted 15/7/2021.

@BHCC_Transport @BrightonHoveCC Because we didn’t find the PCN the parking attendant had ‘hidden’ under our van bonnet on 20/5/2021 until months later it was already outside the time limit for using this online link. We sent an appeal by post as requested on 15/7/2021.
(It’s as if Hove don’t want tourists!)

@BrightonHoveCC @BHCC_Transport Do you suppose I will get a response before Xmas? (Ever?) to my complaint about your traffic warden ‘hiding’ the PCN under our van bonnet when we’d inadvertently parked in the wrong zone? (Having bought and displayed a parking ticket in good faith).

@BrightonHoveCC @BHCC_Transport Hi Joe, No response as yet. Could you please chase. This is taking an inordinate amount of my time and effort, and it simply doesn’t reflect well on Brighton & Hove Council.

[Sue | words and photos @WordsFromTheVan]

@BrightonHoveCC Lily, I have called the number you suggest to hear a pre-recorded message saying the department won’t discuss PCNs by phone. Could you please ensure my appeal posted 15/7/2021 re a PCN dated 22/6/2021 is dealt with & provide an update.

@BrightonHoveCC Hi Alan, Given we’re just about to head into November can I ask just exactly how long the backlog of appeals is, and when @BrightonHoveCC will review my unfair penalty? Sue

@BrightonHoveCC Thank you, Alan. It seemed like a particularly unfair charge in the circumstances, and I look forward to a response to my appeal. Maybe there would be a smaller backlog if this sort of situation didn’t arise in the first place.

Yet another benefit of owning a campervan - it’s very handy for transporting tall plants from the wonderful @BethChattoGdns garden centre to our home.

Apparently it's 3 years today since I signed up to @Kiva. Crowdfunding for loans to people around the world who don't have the access to the banks & financial services most of us take for granted is a great idea. Take a look below for more info.

Happy memories! My review of #EaglePointCamping, Co Cork in @MMM_Magazine (Jan 2021).

Good to hear that campervan manufacturer #Jerba has been recognised among the UK’s most ethical firms.
