More to come, but for the time being suffice to say that Manchester City Council, Trafford, Oldham and Bolton Councils are desperately seeking legal advice after being put on notice that they must either suspend their Decriminalsed Parking Enforcement regimes and inform everyone that they will not be pursuing illegally worded PCNs (in the areas where they are still using tickets without a date of issue) or, in areas where they have just quietly changed their tickets, inform everyone with a pending ticket that they will not be pursued.
I will be posting the notices that have been served on the respective local authorities tomorrow, but suffice to say that the legal departments will be working overtime the next few days.
Meanwhile, if you have a pending ticket in any of the areas mentioned ... check the wording and spread the word.

What's the bloody point anymore; all that's going to happen is that they will ignore it like all the other councils, they'll then get their notices up to scratch and they'll continue treating us with contempt.
We're still waiting for the Barnet transcript which has probably got lost in the post.
I'm sorry but we're fighting a losing battle for the other side don't have to play by the rules and our side are only interested within their own petty parking tickets. Until we can create an effective opposition it's game over.
More to the point, groups like Neil's Metric Martyrs campaign has helped thousands of people yet those thousands of people can't be bothered to donate even a quid from the money that they save or get back from the knowledge and information that has been provided.
It's always me,me, me. They whine and whinge when they have a ticket; ask how to send letters then when they win their appeals, show their gratitude by pissing off never to be heard from again.
Well, stuff em and whilst I cannot speak for neil, I'm certainly not wasting anymore of my time helping people now.
