I recently uploaded my query before Christmas regarding a PCN for parking on a double yellow whilst unloading. tower hamlets council have rejected it and I have added their response below. Their main argument is that the car was monitored for 7 mins or so and no one was seen to be unloading. I would be grateful of any advice on how to continue to appeal against this charge.
Tower Hamlets response;
refer to your challenge about the above Penalty Charge Notice, which has now been
considered in accordance with the Traffic Management Act 2004.
We refer to your appeal against the issuance of Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), issued for
parking on a double yellow line in a restricted street.
An observation was carried out by the Civil Enforcement Officer from 20:37 to 20:43, during
which no loading activity was observed. The officer also noted that the driver returned to the
vehicle after the PCN was issued, at which point the notice was handed directly to the driver.
The evidence indicates that the vehicle was parked in contravention of the Traffic Regulation
Order, and no valid exemption (such as loading or unloading) applied at the time. Therefore,
the PCN was correctly issued and remains enforceable.
