On the assisted alighting they look like they may be open to evidence if you can provide it.

On the contravention they look to have conceded it is a permit bay and the contravention is not having a permit and my point about the irrelevance of not charging stands.

See what others say but I'd go on with this.

You need to decide if you want to punt £80, although they may well reoffer the discount if they reject at formal stage.

Assisted alighting in this case would have to satisfy an adjudicator should they reject on this and will turn on facts not an automatic exemption.

The wrong contravention is a binary - if it's wrong it can't be right. But hopefully someone else will look at this.

If it were me I think I'd go on with it as the rejection leaves avenues open.

Would appreciate thoughts on my formal appeal, thanks





I am making a formal appeal  the issued PCN on the basis below

Contravention didn't occur: The act of not charging cannot apply to a non-permit holder as I was not entitled to park in this bay as I do not hold a resident's permit for this zone. A correct contravention would have been parked without a valid permit, which would also have been correct had I been charging

Contravention didn't occur: I was engaged in assisted alighting of my daughter from 20.20 and took only as only as long as necessary. My daughter is neurodiverse and was attending a concert as the Roundhouse with school friends. Her condition dictates that she needs to be accompanied by a responsible adult. I took her to the Roundhouse, made sure she got inside safely and handed her over to another responsible adult (another parent). When I returned to the car at circa 20.35 I saw the window ticket.

Camden's Traffic Order for the location states assisted alighting in this location as an exemption. This exemption includes assisted boarding or alighting where the driver needs to leave the vehicle, as long as the driver leaves the vehicle only for so long as is necessary to convey the passenger to the nearby premises where they are going and then returns to move his car without delay. This is what happened on this occasion Assisted alighting exemption does not require a blue badge but I am attaching my daughters Access Card and ticket for the for the event on the night on question. The access card is is proof of disability and shows the need for a companion

I trust you will cancel the PCN and send confirmation Thank you
