Did he actually affix the pcn to your vehicle?

[mishal]

He did but i was pulling back my car to move

Contravention did not occur. You were unloading in a loading bay where you are generally allowed at least 20 mins including time for paperwork to be completed. Appeal on that basis and include a copy of the delivery note.

 

What is the observation time from/to on the PCN?

[mishal]

it was at 4:36 to 4:40 he claim but iam sure he never observe my car he was some where hidden and observing from distance.

As long as you can produce the delivery note, the council should cancel the ticket.

 

If they don't come back and we'll deal with it

They don't have to be fixed to the vehicle any longer.

[mishal]

They don't have to be fixed to the vehicle any longer.

 

 

ok i will challenge the pcn backed up with Delivery note. and i let you know

 

many thanks Michael

Yes, challenge it. The revenue from parking announced this morning has risen to £411 million, and that is without the income from penalties so you can easily double that figure.

 

“Councils are making record-breaking profits from parking, while cutting road safety spending on life-saving services such as, education for young drivers, cycle training, and safe routes to schools schemes,” said Simon Best, chief executive of the Institute of Advanced Motorists.

To paraphrase the guidance to councils, loading or unloading amy be carried out when the item is too large to be carried normally by one person. Generally this means that if you can carry your shopping you are not loading but several trips with boxes is loading. A delivery note is normally accepted as evidence of loading. Yes, appeal.
