happily, sounding much like they were saying :

I have just received a penalty Charge Notice from Ealing Council for
allegedly for making a prohibited U-turn.

Did you?

The alleged contravention is photographed on 2nd July 07 but the date of
notice is 09 August 07.

Is there a time limit on such notices?

Are you the registered keeper of the vehicle, and is it registered to the
address the FPN was sent to?

If so, then IIRC it has to be sent (not received) within 14days.
If not, then it has to have been sent to the registered keeper within 14
days, who then replies to it with the details of the person driving, who
then receives another FPN - and there's no timescale for any of those.

Hi Adrian

Yes, I am the registered owner and all I have is the 'Penalty Charge Notice'
which as I said is dated 5 weeks after the alleged offence.
Is there any statute that I can refer to on this matter?

Thanks again.
