Just a quick update on this one. I received a response today - the ticket has been cancelled, a rarity in my experience for Southwark - would be good to know why they did though:
PCN Challenge Review - Traffic Management Act 2004 (Part 6)
We refer to the informal challenge you have made against the issue of the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) JK16709240
We have examined the facts surrounding the issue of this PCN and taking into consideration the contents in your
correspondence, we have decided to cancel your PCN.
Please be advised, the PCN was cancelled for reasons other than those provided in your challenge letter, and should not be
taken as a precedent. This cancellation has no bearing on the validity of any other PCNs that may be issued to you in future
under similar circumstances.
Each of the examples provided in your letter relate to stopping and escorting vulnerable passengers; and the PCNs were
issued where waiting and loading restrictions apply.
Whilst the traffic management order permits vehicles to stop for the purpose of enabling persons to board or alight a vehicle,
no such exemption applies to vehicles parked in paid-for parking bays, including those designated for permit holder parking.
In this instance, as the PCN has been cancelled, no further action will be taken.
