Not a contravention as no block by stationary vehicle. This really warrants a complaint to Havering for issuing this.

Hi,

I drive a company car and have received this PCN. I have been asked if I would like to appeal but really don't think I could do this at the moment without some help/guidance.
Hopefully I have attached the photo of me briefly stopping in a box junction as the council helpfully had put a road closed sign at the end of the box. I did stop briefly while reading the diversion sign and thinking about my best route.  The exit out of the box was clear at all times, I did not stop because of any other cars.
I have had a quick google and it looks like others have been caught in exactly the same place for the same reason.

Any advice appreciated!
