Yes multiple notices... I have received, from southwark council, in the last week demands (x3!) that I pay an ?80 fine for having parked illegally. Yes I know I am stupid, and comments to this effect are not what I'm really looking for... The thing is I've never received the original notices which gets stuck onto the car, if. Had I would have paid them as I did with another one during the same month. So is someone removing these from my car? Has anyone else any experience of this?


I've appealed one so far and will appeal the others too but just wondered whether this is an isolated thing or more generic?


Thanks

We got a huge fine a few years ago because Southwark Council had apparently send us multiple reminders which we never got... My hunch at the time was that those letters had never been sent to us in the first place but I could not prove it. I was heavily pregnant at the time so paid up when I eventually got a letter through the post. Had I not been, I would have looked into it a bit more closely.

What stage are the notices at? You can file Out of Times for each one via Traffic Enforcement Centre where you state that you never received the original notices. Look on the Consumer Action Group website for lots of helpful information.

You need to ask for photographic evidence. No photo no payment...if you appeal you will win if this is the case but may win if they do have a photo. Seems strange not receiving them but stranger someone pinching them. Mind you kids put chewing gum on my car the other day...what fun they have at our expense :(

^ That happened to me years ago. I got three or four PCNs in the post about parking infractions that took place while I was either asleep or quite decisively housebound with baby triplets. I phoned up and rather rattily told them this and oddly enough, my word was accepted without question.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
