Do you want the strongest chance of getting your Sefton Metropolitan penalty charge cancelled? Parking Mate UK prepares a solicitor-grade Sefton Metropolitan off-street PCN appeal letter in minutes using your uploaded notice, evidence, answers, deadline, and stage, with clear instructions on what to submit next.
An off-street parking PCN from Sefton Metropolitan is a penalty charge notice issued in a council-operated car park. These are different from on-street parking PCNs and use a separate set of contravention codes in the 70 to 96 range.
Common off-street contravention codes include 73 (parked without payment), 80 (parked longer than the maximum stay), and 85 (parked in a disabled bay without a valid blue badge). The code must accurately match the circumstances of your case.
Sefton Metropolitan must display clear signage at the car park entrance and within the car park showing tariffs, maximum stay periods, terms and conditions, and restricted areas. The statutory 10-minute grace period under the Deregulation Act 2015 also applies in council car parks.
Parking Mate UK applies the correct off-street regulations to your Sefton Metropolitan PCN, checking signage, payment machines, grace periods, and contravention codes. If defects are found, you receive a professional appeal letter for Sefton Metropolitan or Traffic Penalty Tribunal.

Off-street codes (70-96) are different from on-street codes. The code on your Sefton Metropolitan PCN must accurately match the alleged offence.
