Hi all
I have received a Code 46 Red Route PCN and looking for some advice before I submit representations.
PCN:
https://imgpile.com/p/GQ3Es5zLocation:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/HLdSVBnquKvVnnHv8 The sign is an upright one - states 'RED ROUE - No stopping at any time - Except Loading - Max 20mins' - The bay is a marked loading bay, not double red lines.
I am a resident at the address adjacent to the bay, which this bay is clearly made for loading/unloading to. On the date in question, I was unloading a large amount of household goods into my flat, as my partner was moving in with me. As such, I had this car filled to the brim with boxes, furniture and all the stuff for moving house. I used a timer when I first parked up, and I ensured I was just under 20mins for sure spent in the bay.
I cannot understand why or how I have been given this ticket. I unloaded all the stuff from the car to the lobby, from here, I then had to take it upstairs to my floor which due to the lifts being broken (I have evidence of residents group chat discussing this) I had to take the stairs to take a lot of stuff up.
I made repeated trips between the vehicle and into the building to move stuff in. Once the unloading was completed and taken to the flat, I immediately removed the vehicle and then did not return.
The time stamp states this was at 13:29, I think that I would have left the space by around 13:35ish if I recall correctly when I arrived and then expected to leave.
Can someone help assist, please? What evidence should I submit, or avenue to take to fight this? I have used the loading/unloading bay in the manner it is made for, and I am a resident of the adjacent building. Such a scam if I end up having to pay this.
Please let me know if any further information is needed or background.
