I plan to use 'mitigating circumstances' to challenge this PCN.
My adult very high-functioning autistic son has a badly broken ankle (an exacting combination for everyone concerned) and while awaiting surgery, on crutches and in plaster, was very keen to buy certain ingredients from a particular shop to make a healing meal, so I drove him to that shop. (He was insistent that only he would know exactly what he needed)
The only place to stop anywhere near the shop was on a red route and parking bay with limited hours for loading. I thought that off-loading someone on crutches for a brief time was within the rules.
For the record he has a diagnosis from the Autistic Society and receives Disability Benefit (ie it's not a self or maternal diagnosis.)
Tomorrow I shall post the required letter to see a recording of the CCTV (do they only do it by mail to put people off requesting it?). I am hoping it will show my son hobbling on crutches from the car to the shop and back.
