Dear London Borough of Harrow,
I challenge liability for PCN HR72522195 because the alleged contravention did not occur.
On this occasion I was picking up my son 5 year old son from a birthday venue called Puttstars, Harrow, (St Georges Shopping Centre, Harrow HA1 1AS). This shopping centre is adjacent to the the location where I stopped my car.
This venue is on the second floor so I had to wait for the lift and then go to the second floor, before returning with my son. All this would have taken about 15 minutes.
While I appreciate parking is not permitted at this location, there is an exemption for assisted boarding and alighting and a 5 year old child cannot be expected to make his way to the road on his own.
In light of the above the contravention did not occur and I invite you to cancel the PCN.
Yours faithfully,
