Thanks very much @Incandescent.

The bay sign allows all vehicles to load, not just goods vehicles, and there is no time limit. So you should submit representations that you were engaged in delivering goods to the charity shop. Add a copy of the email in your representations, that I assume you will do using their web pages.

Hi all.
Thanks as always for your help.
I’ve just received a PCN from a code 46 contravention on 11/02 on 95 London Road, Brighton, BN1 4JF (outside the British Heart Foundation). The location was a loading bay located on a red route.
Timeline:
16.25ish - My wife unloaded a number of items to take into the store to donate.
16.33ish - One item, a suitcase, wasn’t accepted, and so she tried to donate it at the next door Scope charity shop (also unsuccessfully).
16.37 - The recording starts. (The car is parked and she is not visible)
16.40 - She returns to the car, loading the suitcase into the boot.
16.41 - The car leaves the bay.
Annoyingly the council’s evidence only begins at a point where she hasn’t been captured on video unloading charity items for donation.
We do however have an email confirmation of donation from the British Heart Foundation which I hoped could be used as evidence.
Any advice, as always appreciated.
