There is a loading exemption but it's strict - vehicle must be attended and no alternative.

Does this apply to parking on a footway (if it is a footway) and adjacent to white zig zag lines?

I was loading from a block of flats inside the estate next to the shutters. This was the closest place to park next to that building.

What was the reason for parking in that location, were you waiting for access?

Hi all,

I’d really appreciate some advice on a PCN I’ve received from Islington Council.

Contravention: Code 62 – parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath or any part of a road other than a carriageway
Location: City Road, (Outside a garage entrance with shutters (crossover area))
Date/Time: 15/04/2026 - PCN states contravention at 18:41, observed from 18:41 to 18:41
Photos: Council photos are timestamped 18:42–18:43

My car was partially on the sloped crossover area in front of a garage. There were no markings and it didn’t appear to be a typical pavement, but I understand that may not matter in London.

A couple of things I wanted to check:

Whether this area clearly counts as footway/crossover for the purposes of code 62
If there are any technical or procedural grounds I might have missed

Thanks in advance for any help.
