A disabled passenger was being escorted out of the vehicle and across the road into the bank situated across the road.
Can you expand on this activity, please, because the No Loading restriction bars you parking using a BB, but alighting a passenger is the other exemption that applies to everybody not just BB holders. You seem to be describing "assisted boarding/alighting", but we need more narrative on what went on.

What was the reason for parking there, were you loading/unloading or dropping off/picking up passengers?

Hi,

A disabled passenger was being escorted out of the vehicle and across the road into the bank situated across the road. The driver did not stop on the same side as the bank due to turning buses (although once the buses make the turn they do shift over to the right and stop as seen in one of the images).
