How does this look for an appeal:
I am appealing this PCN on the basis that the contravention did not occur.
The CEOs pictures show metal barriers to the right of my car, it appears that Westminster Council have treated the metal barriers as the edge of the carriageway for at least 5 years (as per Google Street View).
Therefore, if the de facto limit of the carriageway is the metal barriers then a motorist should be able to consider the barrier to be the de jure edge of the carriageway. In conclusion, my car was parked less than 50cm from the edge of the carriageway and that there are no lines drawn designating parking spaces hence no contravention has occurred.
I refer you to the below extract from tribunal case number 2240189683:
"The Authority's case is that the Appellant's vehicle was parked more than 50cm from the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking place when in Snowshill Road on 10 December 2023 at 14.32.
The Appellant denies the contravention.
I have considered the evidence in this case and I find that the Authority has not proved that the Appellant's vehicle was parked more that 50cm from the edge of the carriageway.
The reason being that I find that the Appellant's vehicle was parked in a car park where there is no carriageway.
The appeal is allowed."
I request that you give this matter a fresh and impartial consideration. I’m sure you will see that the evidence unequivocally demonstrates that no contravention has occurred and will therefore cancel this Parking Charge.
