Thank you for all your responses.
I do plan to respond to the NTO.
For background i did respond via their portal informal appeal, explained car issue and mechanic helped me get back to driving, alternator issue. provided invoice as part of informal appeal.
I have not heard back from them on my informal appeal, I will address this in the NTO and refer to informal appeal when responding to the NTO.
I also wanted to check if the whole PCN is even valid as the enforcement officer / ticket officer did not take an image of my vehicle and the signage that I was supposed to have seen and allegedly contravened
Background:
Job for a customer on the same road, parked outside her property while she sorts out permit, she explains she will swap places (car places) and let me park in her special bay and leave her badge in my car.
My car no longer starting, sudden failure. I look at the signage, its close to 630pm time and the sign states Monday - Saturday 0830am-630pm restriction resident permit holders only
Match and Event Day - resident permit holders only - 830am - 830pm / Sunday and public holidays noon - 4pm
FYI - I am local arsenal fan, they were playing away to Villa, turns out the Women's team were playing at the Emirates. However, wasn't to know hence this pickle.
While the car didn't start, I called local mechanic to have a look as it wasn't a long journey for them, i provided an invoice for this mechanic as part of my appeal.
I also spoke to
@Hippocrates and highlighted that more importantly was the PCN valid / appeal-able given the PCN evidence does not contain a photo of the car vehicle allegedly contravention and the signage in one photo to confirm that signage was visible.
Historically, a written appeal to adjudicator stage went my way when the adjudicator referenced lack of evidence of vehicle and signage of contravention, in one photo for evidence.
