London Borough of Hackney is looking for talented, ambitious and customer focused individuals to join our busy Parking Appeals and Debt Recovery Team. Parking penalties and subsequent debt recovery action are often contentious issues, which require a sensitive approach in order to balance competing traffic management demands with the individual circumstances of our customers.
Our Debt Recovery and Appeals Team deals with more than 1300 appeals per year, which include appeals to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators (London Tribunals), the Traffic Enforcement Centre witness statements and debt recovery court hearings. Many of these appeals and hearings have to be considered and defended in front of the Independent Adjudicators and in some cases Court Judges.
