We had a similar incident on Pepipoo. Same location.

IIRC it was a passing camera van and the Road Train doesn't run at this time of year.

We need the exact location via GSV please and documents (front and back).

The older case was, I believe, a bus stop contravention rather than the contravention given here.

Plus we have a will/may glitch.

OP----in the first instance I would keep it simple as per the attached draft.

If they reject then we can hit them with the procedural impropriety (will/may) and the contravention being incorrect (it's a no stopping prohibition).

APPEAL AGAINST PENALTY CHARGE NOTICE-- NO. PT21541165

The Charge

Contravention 23 - Parked in a parking place or area not designated for that class of vehicle

Circumstances

My vehicle made an emergency stop at this location because my two children, who have learning difficulties, were biting their cochlear implants. I enclose a scan of their Blue Badge, which obviously would not have been registered by your passing camera car.

I would ask that the Council take this into account and use its discretion to cancel this PCN.

When considering this letter I trust the Council will have regard to my children’s disability and its statutory obligation under the Equality Act 2010 to take their disability into account when considering the circumstances of this case.

Should the Council withhold their discretion I would like to have a copy of the video from the camera car.

OP, the sign states that this is also a bus stop 24/7 * so alternative use by BB holders isn't an option.

- the no stopping sign is 7 day 9-9pm, but when the buses run is anyone's guess.

this is the sign i saw

OP, we need precision because of the very issues here and you posted a GSV which focused on the 'buses plus train' sign.

Can you link the video here or stills so this issue can be put to bed pl. Buses don't have parking places, they have clearways(if anything at all).

In any event, the contravention is incorrect as observed earlier because whether left or right they're clearways, not parking places, therefore parking contraventions cannot be committed.

hi all, thankyou, so i sent the representation off a few days ago, ive also had the video, they have rejected the claim. they have said the video shows noone in the front, well of course, i was in the back, where my child was, i was searching on the floor for one part of the cochlear which they had managed to get off, i have 3 rows of seats, and also the back of the car has black out windows, so you wouldn't have seen me. But i know i wasn't in the front, because i was trying to help my child in the very back. the video is really poor quality.  Also it is frustrating as this train hasn't run for over a year,they stopping people and fining them for stopping briefly, when they know no train is actually going to turn up. if anyone can help me do the second appeal letter would be most grateful. thanks, i agree the road markings are very bad, white and then yellow, and one sign sayes road train, other sayes train and buses.
i cant seem to upload the video as its not one of you allowed file types?

Well sort of but I've fixed it for you so it works properly now:

Can you please confirm whether the PDF file you attached is everything you have received? If that's the sum total of the notice of rejection then it's basically a guaranteed win at the tribunal, as the notice is hopelessly defective unless there are some additional pages.

By the way I have redacted your postal address above as you should not share such information on a public forum.
