Title: Re: Hillingdon - 62 - Parked with one or more wheels over footpath - Uxbridge road UB4

If you'd kept on the carriageway on the double yellow lines you'd have been OK as there is an exemption for boarding and alighting passengers. Also your BB is valid too, but it's not valid off the carriageway.

I can't see any statutory grounds for an appeal at London Tribunals. You can of course, submit informal reps where you can explain why you parked where you did and ask for discretion.

Hi everyone,

Looking for some advice on how to proceed with a PCN that I received. I was travelling with a blue badge holder passenger and pulled up on the side of the road to allow them to disembark the vehicle. This section of the road (Uxbridge Road), is a one way road with parking bays on one side, it was extremely busy with no available parking spaces. I opted to pull over to the other side of the road which was marked with double yellow lines and parked in a way where I was not blocking any traffic. I displayed the blue badge and had my hazards on.

As I was assisting the passenger out of the vehicle, I failed to spot the traffic warden standing a fair distance behind the vehicle and took a photo as evidence (shown below). The ticket was fixed to my windscreen when I had walked the passenger inside the shop. Looking at the timestamps, the ticket was issued/printed before the photo was taken and affixed after I moved away from the vehicle.

Do I have any grounds for appeal?
