Draft something on lines of:
Puzzled to get NTO as no PCN on car when returned to car
Can see from council pics that there may be a faded yellow line but this wasn't seen and there are no timeplates.
Realise it is in a controlled zone from Greenwich map but entry sign not seen and from this google image the single sign on my entry from A2 may well have been obscured by shrubbery.
I'm not much of a wordsmith, is the following acceptable ?
With regards to this Notice to Owner received for penalty charge notice number XXXXX, while its clear in the photo evidence that a PCN was placed on the windscreen of my vehicle on 22nd April 2022, something or someone must have removed as at no time was I aware of a penalty charge until receipt of this NTO, which is why no challenge was previously submitted or penalty paid
From the photos provided in your evidence I challenge this penalty because the markings on the road where my vehicle of photographed as parked were unclear due to fading and obstruction from dust and debris on the road surface. Additionally there are no observable time plates in the vicinity of where the photographs are taken.
I've been made aware that there is controlled zone Greenwich, however this may not have been clear at the time as the Controlled Parking Zone signage on the A2 exit at Tunnel Avenue may well have been obscured by shrubbery on the roadside where the signs are place as seen in this google image : <insert link>
It would therefore have been difficult to know that a violation had taken place and would ask therefore that you cancel this penalty charge
Yours faithfully,
