To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally dispute the parking ticket issued to my vehicle on 08/07/2025 at Cardigan Road. As a resident permit holder (Permit B), I believe there are extenuating circumstances that should be considered in this case.
On the day in question, my partner, who is the primary driver, was unfamiliar with the road where the vehicle was parked. She typically parks in Armagh Road, Old Ford Road or Parnell Road, but due to a lack of available spaces, she was forced to park on an unfamiliar road.
Additionally, my partner was visiting her mother, who was an inpatient at the Royal London Hospital due to cancer and was in palliative care at the time. Sadly, her mother has since passed away. These visits were crucial and often occurred outside of normal hours, adding to the complexity of finding suitable parking.
On this particular day, my partner was extremely tired and emotionally distressed, which further impacted her ability to find a familiar parking spot. Given the lack of available spaces in our usual area, she had no choice but to park in an unfamiliar location.
Furthermore, my partner did not need to return to the car later that day. Had she done so, she would have noticed the business users and moved the car accordingly.
I kindly request that you consider these circumstances and revoke the parking ticket issued. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
