- Summary
-
We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s escalation of a penalty charge notice. This is because it would have been reasonable for Mr X to apply to the Traffic Enforcement Centre at Northampton County Court to file a late witness statement/statutory declaration. The Council’s enforcement agents accept it missed an opportunity to notify Mr X of the unpaid penalty charge notice but its actions, and those of the Council, are sufficient to remedy the injustice this caused.
