Thanks to Richard Jennings from John Todd
i thought this might get missed in the front page article and as i have always been impressed with how super helpful Richard seems to be thought i would re-post it here:-"Richard Jennings - A valued Community MemberCouncillors are advised that they cannot intervene in Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) matters as they are ‘quasi- judicial matters’Richard though can provide valuable guidance and advice on such matters without charge. His email address is ‘parking@rjen.uk’It's been a bumper year for Richard’s hobby of helping people fight unfair Penalty Charge Notices. It all started in 2007 when he received a PCN for parking outside his house. Hounslow claimed that he had violated the suspension that his neighbours had organised in connection with their move away from Chiswick, but he was actually helping the neighbours on that day. Hounslow rejected two appeals, so Richard did more research and submitted a 4-page appeal to the adjudicators. Hounslow took one look at it and decided not to contest it. Case won - PCN cancelled!Richard started to use that experience to help others, and so far this year he has helped in a record 58 cases. He says he doesn't work miracles, but there are often obscure processes that can unlock difficult cases. For example, if a PCN should have been posted to a driver but never arrived, the penalties can rapidly increase, but Richard can advise how to get a court in Northampton (Traffic Enforcement Centre) to wind back the excessive penalties and enable the PCN to be appealed. Users have advised me how thorough and helpful they found Richard.Sincere thanks Richard for this valued public service.Cllr John Todd"http://www.chiswickw4.com/default.asp?section=info&page=councillorsblog284.htm
