Other material in this website is ©2025-2026 Bustagate. It is made freely available for non-commercial use, in particular by recipients of PCNs in preparing their representations and appeals. For the avoidance of doubt, non-commercial use does not extend to web sites which carry advertising or promote services for which charges are made.
As explained on the Home page, if you are appealing against a PCN, you need to put effort into your representations and appeal, and tell your own story. You can supplement it with material from here, but there are no "magic bullets" to secure a successful appeal. Ask for assistance on ftla.uk. You can contact me through that website, but know that I am not a good advocate: I irritate adjudicators. Others are better attuned to their ways and know how best to present a case.
I will try to respond positively to requests from an adjudicator to appear at an adjourned hearing where the adjudicator wants to question the author of arguments set out on this site.
To enable me to keep this site up-to--date, please send me:
adjudications and responses from councils which provide reasoned arguments against those set out here;
anything which indicates that traffic orders have changed;
changes to roads.
