Total failure to consider. If it were me, I'd wait fopr the NtO and make the same reps, add ing supporting evidence from the passenger of the doctor's appointment, but see what the experts here say.

I think somebody earlier in the thread made the mistake of thinking Dr Power is a medical doctor.

I don't think that's what Dr Power is...  https://drvspower.co.uk/

(The OP repeated the error by copying the suggested reps verbatim - even though they must have known there was no "consultation" and no surgery)

[Edit:  no criticism intended of the original error.  I suspect it was caused because the OP was unclear as to what "Dr Power" actually was and they didn't bother to correct the obvious misunderstanding in the suggested reps]

That is correct. Dr. Power is the name of the coffee shop in which we had attended. I hadn't noticed the first part of the appeal mentioning the 'surgery' but in the second paragraph of appeal the cafe is mentioned

I would suggest anyone drafting representations should check the basic facts. If someone is drafting reps based on boarding / alighting to a doctor's surgery, the person drafting the suggested reps should go onto google maps and check the distance between the place where the vehicle was parked and the doctor's' surgery to ensure the reps are credible, such basic checks would have highlighted in this case that there is no doctor's surgery.

If this ends up at the tribunal an explanation will be needed, which will unfortunately mean throwing the author of the suggested reps under the bus (by basically just telling the adjudicator that said author drafted the representations without checking the facts); this is unfortunate but it's better that we hold our hands up and win rather than overlook the issue and make the adjudicator suspicious as to what's going on or worse make him doubt the OP's credibility.

@privates let us know when you get the NTO please.

@privates what is your relation to the disabled family member, do they have a blue badge, and what is the nature of the disability?

It is the mother of my family friend. They have a blue badge and they have mobility issues.

So why wasn't the blue badge on display?

"During the time from collecting my family memeber from the cafe, and assisting him to the vehicle"

Seems to be another inconsistency.

Just for clarity, a BB cannot be used in Westminster as regards the waiting exemption but would provide strong support for the need for assisted alighting.

IMO, the sign is compliant because 'Midday-7am' is a permissible format. The three panels are placed correctly and there's no overlap between times.

But I cannot see a yellow line or kerb blips in the photos of the location, in which case the markings are improper because the restriction cannot be conveyed by signs alone.

OP, as regards your claim to the exception of assisted alighting(assuming the markings are there) the burden of proof falls to you. In this respect, you would have to show to an adjudicator - I think the council would reject- that you came, you parked, you went to the cafe, you immediately returned with the passenger who needed assistance. Do you have anything to corroborate your account e.g. dashcam record etc?

I agree, we've had this issue with Westminster bays several times previously.

@privates please engage with us and answer the queries that are outstanding, this will require a compelling representation. The absolute deadline for representations to be made is 21 May.

The BB was not bought out on this day and it isn't mine to carry in my vehicle but I had assisted on this day

I do not have any dashcams recordings or anything, no.
