ByeFine parking guides

Work out the time limits the law sets in England for a parking or traffic notice from the dates printed on it: the reduced-amount period, formal representations, when a council's Notice to Owner may come and the latest it may come, the tribunal, POPLA or IAS after a rejection, and whether a private Notice to Keeper came too late for the keeper to be liable. Each date errs early and comes with its legal source. The notice itself is authoritative.

Explain a council penalty charge notice contravention code (the two-digit code on the PCN, with any suffix letter): what it means, whether it is a higher or lower level contravention, what any suffix means, and the grounds the law allows for formal representations in England. No amounts: those depend on the council and are printed on the notice. Private parking charges do not use these codes.

One guide in full as Markdown, by its slug (from search_guides or list_guides), with the date it was last checked and its official sources.
