Brent council - notice of rejection for medical emergency / double yellow
« on: »
Hi all,

Hoping for some advice please following a PCN I received when I had to make an emergency stop on a double yellow. CEO has pulled up in a van and immediately given a ticket as I came back to car. He even saw my daughter sick and made a note on his tablet and took a pic. Yet they’ve rejected.

All details of PCN, my appeal, and their rejection is at link above.

Pls advise if you need to know anything else - and of any advice on what to do next as discounted rate ends soon. I am shocked even with supporting CEO notes they’ve not exercised discretion here. If I appeal again not sure what else I can add. Other than the closest car park based on research since I got ticket is 0.5 miles away
:/

I understand if I appeal o lose right to discount - but it may get reviewed by a more understanding and humane officer!! Might be wrong ?!

TIA

Humanity, ethics, morality is totally absent from council parking departments. All that counts to them is getting the money in. The words I use are 'venal and rapacious'

Their letter is the usual Fob-Off, sent in response to all informal reps, but its quite staggering in its denial of all human understanding. You might care to pass their letter on to your local councillor so he can see what the council are doing.

If you want to stand your ground, you now need to wait for the Notice to Owner. So, are you the owner, and if so, is the address on your V5C Registration Certificate up-to-date ?

Obviously, you don't want to pay more money than you have to. So to give robust advice on the chances of success in an appeal, we'd need to know more about your "emergency" because this is key to a successful appeal at London Tribunals.

For all parking restrictions there is an exemption for the driver being unable to proceed through reason beyond his control, (an emergency, in short).

You need much more collateral on the medical problem in order to win at adjudication. Just saying it was an emergency is not enough.

Hi thanks for that..First I’ll get a notice to rejection I believe and get to appeal to council again?

What more would you suggest to add please?

The ceo literally saw her sick noted this on his tablet and has a pic. I’m shocked that wasn’t enough tbh…

The CEO took a pic of your child looking very miserable (have blanked face).

Were you in car or did you leave the car?

The exemption here is circumstances beyond your control and they're being ridiculous.

This is a pic just before I decided to take her into the venue to clean her. I consulted with my partner that this would be best course of action as there’s not really much around that area.

So we left the car and as we were coming back - he was printing ticket. He saw her with sick still on her and looking poorly - I just went in there to do basic face clean as that’s all I could in circumstances far from my house / family friends house
