Judging from the GSV and PCN pictures there is no yellow line markings but I will double check tomorrow and take some photos

There are no yellow lines or kerb blips at this location, Westminster think they don't need them because they're special.

Here's a draft formal representation:

Dear City of Westminster,

The alleged contravention did not occur because at the material time, I was assisting the mother of a family friend, Mrs (INSERT FULL NAME) to a nearby coffee shop located at 37 Queensway, London, W2 4QJ.

Mrs (INSERT SURNAME) is disabled and has mobility issues, so she could not board or alight from a vehicle without assistance, I attach a copy of her blue badge for your records.

I should further explain that when making informal representations I obtained drafting assistance from a Mr THIRD PARTY who did not fully understand the factual circumstances and incorrectly made reference to a medical appointment; there was no medical appointment, Mr THIRD PARTY simply got confused because the cafe in question happens to be called "Dr. Power".

Nonetheless the fact of the matter is that I was engaged in assisting a person with mobility issues back to the vehicle so the contravention did not occur.

The contravention could not have occurred in any event because none of the requisite road markings are present.

In light of the above I invite you to cancel the penalty charge notice.

Yours faithfully,

@privtes do not send this yet, but don't lose track of the deadline. You've not shown us the date of issue of the notice to owner so I'm not 100% sure when the deadline actually is. It would be helpful if you could show us the date of issue of the NTO.

@Incandescent please could you have a look at the whatsapp message I've sent you.

OP, you are tooing and froing. You need to decide which it is i.e. were you assisting a passenger to the vehicle or from the vehicle at the time of the contravention?

long story short I was assisting a disabled person from the coffee shop to the vehicle. Warden had seen clearly what was going on. He said "ticket is printing already sir" so instead he said "I will put a note on the ticket and just call this number (on the plastic the ticket comes in) and let them know the situation".

Is now:
