Hello everyone,
hoping to get some advice on a recent council penalty charge notice I received.
Essentially... I was parked by a dropped curb, however its worth mentioning that there was no yellow lines and this dropped curb wasn't the most visible/maintained. There was also a newly built dropped curb meters in front of this one (and my car) which I wasn't blocking and gave safe pedestrian access which is what led me to not notice this one.
Either way, I know this was careless, however I was there less than 5 minutes and it also seems like a bit of an overzealous reason to get a ticket.
wondering if I have any leg to stand on in the challenge/appeal process or if I have to bite the bullet and pay up.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
pictures from the enforcement officer and of the actual ticket are attached.
