Dear Enforcement Officer
Sub : Challenging the PCN Ref no – xxxx against contravention date 30-Sept-23 at 16:07 hrs.
I am challenging the PCN : xxxx issued by the Transport of London in which I was issued with a 160 pounds penalty charge for having stopped my car at 16:07 on 30-Sept-2023 at O/S 79-87 Kingsland Road, E2
I make the representation on the following grounds :
1 – Exceptional Circumstances :
The reason why I have stopped my car to bring my mother, Ms xxxx, to the toilet in the Local Vietnamese restaurant located at the place of the alleged contravention, as she was not feeling well.
She recently had a brain stroke suffers from hypertension, is occasionally incontinent due to chronic constipation. Her indwelling catheter bag filled up completely.
Attached is the hospital discharge letter from the Stroke team and the Fraility team (constipation) and the “No Waiting” card alongwith the InDwelling Cathetar passport to use the Toilet Urgently
2 – Blue Badge Holder
I stopped the car within the designated area allowed for the Blue Badge (attached) Holder to park the car which was left on the dashboard.
In light of the foregoing, I respectfully ask the Enforcement Officer to allow this representation and cancel the PCN.
Thanks for your time.
Regards
xxxx
We are in receipt of FOI response, please refer to the attached file in text and picture.The obvious next step is to take this to the Information Commissioner's Office, it would be easier if I did that on your behalf. Would you be happy for me to do so?

Write back to the FOI mailbox:Dear Transport for London,
I hereby request an internal review of the handling information request 2697-2324.
The information request you refer to under reference 0970-2324 is about ULEZ cameras, which have nothing to do with parking enforcement cameras. Indeed, the fact that the rationale that might apply to ULEZ cameras cannot apply to parking enforcement cameras is proven by response 1103-2324, where TFL confirmed on 3 August 2023 that:The camera you refer to is a street CCTV camera and the camera is a Predator HD/Ultra - H264.
Plainly if TFL has been able to release this information on 3 August 2023, the reasons for refusal of information request 0970-2324 issued on 27 July 2023 cannot be an impediment.
Furthermore, it is hard to see how the information released under 1103-2324 could have any bearing on the exemptions you rely on, I note the nature of the information sought for ULEZ cameras under reference 0970-2324 is very different to the information sought in this case.
Knowing that a particular parking enforcement camera is one particular model or another cannot reasonably have any bearing on any of the exemptions cited under reference 0970-2324.
I invite you to carry out an internal review in light of the above.
Yours faithfully,
Put a reminder in your calendar to chase them up on 5 December if you haven't had a reply by then.
Have you called? Did they confirm the PCN would be put on hold?
