TfL - 46: Stopped where prohibited - Trevelyan Road, Tooting, London, SW17

Hi all,

I have received the attached PCN at this location:


I was collecting an order from Screwfix, so genuinely was loading goods.

Before I send a representation, is it sufficient enough to include my invoice and expect to have the PCN cancelled? My worry is I have visited since this PCN, so presuming I will get more tickets through he post

Thank you

Were the goods pre-ordered, or did you just go shopping ?

Thanks for the reply.
This one was pre ordered but the following day was drop in I believe

As I understand it, there is case law on the subject of 'loading' which deals with the interpretation as regards yellow lines, loading bays and exemptions from stopping restriction, as here.

The point is that 'loading' should be construed in the same way whenever it applies.

Here, among other matters it means that the load was such as to require a vehicle to transport it.This need varies depending upon whether the vehicle was engaged in a business or not.

So OP, the background pl.

Are you employed/self employed/ private DIYer, the vehicle is a goods vehicle or not, you go to the shop to buy or collect/deliver/return tools and equipment or what?

Over to you.

Thanks. I run my own small property management company. In effect, self employed.

My car is owned privately but used for business and leisure purposes (insured as such as well). I.e. it is a working car and absolutely critical for me to use.

Materials purchased were for repairs at a managed property.

I found this document, on the back of what you say, which seems to imply business use of a loading bay carries exemption regardless of item size (point 6 on page 7) "to enable goods to be loaded":
