Grounds for Appeal - Contravention Code 27

[Tiagob]

Hi guys (again),

 

I hope somebody can help with this. I've just got a parking ticket from Wandsworth Council (again) for being "parked in a special enforcement area adjacent to a dropped footway, cycle track or verge lowered to meet the level of the carriageway".

 

At that moment I was doing a big removal (Ashvale Rd, SW17) and as you can see from the photos there was no chance to park my van anywhere on that road so I parked right on the kerb (it was the only place to do it).

 

I don't feel really confident with this one but just wanted to hear what do you have to say about this.

 

Does anybody have any suggestions for the grounds for appeal?

 

 

Many Thanks

Tiago

Hi guys, anyone can help me?

 

There's an exemption for unloading/loading as Vehicles may only park adjacent to a dropped footway to load/unload for a maximum of 20 minutes, providing

that the loading/unloading activity could not reasonably be carried out elsewhere which was the case and the CEO did not add obs time on the PCN notice

Looks like you have your line of appeal then. Just argue that and see what they say.

Can you not apply to the LA in advance of this type of removal job, for permission to park to load/unload ?

[Jamberson]

You can apply to have a parking bay suspended for your own use, and it looks like there are bays in the road which would have been suitable.

Unfortunately I think I have nothing much to say regarding this one :S

Bunch of idiots!! Do not pay!!! If you need help with PATAS appeal let me know, the PCN should clearly be cancelled and they are talking cow poo.
