Tincombe is being a tad gloomy - you only have to be credible to an adjudicator to win this at the tribunal but of course the council may well be awkward.

Unless you have something from the recipient then IMO you would struggle. Objectively your current evidence amounts to a photo of boxes on a trolley and your say-so. Sorry, but in the venal world of enforcement authorities this doesn't amount to much.

In short: 'No guarantee but i can ask if they'll provide me with something to confirm the delivery.'. I'd get on it now.

I made a single trip with the trolley, the office was on the 7th Floor, but essentially it was enter the building, collect the trolley, back to the vehicle, load the trolley, back up to the office, photograph of returned items, and then back to the car.

No guarantee but i can ask if they'll provide me with something to confirm the delivery.

You have a good case but I wouldn't volunteer a time - did you use the trolley or make multiple trips.

The idea is to say you delivered and returned to the car straight away.

Any chance of a note from office manager confirming delivery.

It was personally returning some items due to their value, it took me no longer than 10 minutes, and I have a photo of the boxes that were returned in the office of where they were being returned to.

Not a bay but yellow lines.

Loading is an exemption but you need to describe in detail what was going on and for how long.

Was this personal or business. Any paperwork.

There is no observation on the PCN.

Hi jays86,
I assume this was for stopping on double yellow lines?
I'm no expert but you need to confirm the restrictions in "the bay" but could also try to get the Traffic Order details from the council to confirm the regulations have been properly applied
Good luck

Hi All
After some advice, received the below today. The vehicle was stationary in the bay on Palmer Street, but it was because I was delivering 10 boxes to the Asticus Building, is it worth appealing this?
Thanks!
