In cases involving council YBJs, it is essential we see the video, because only the video can show whether a contravention has occurred or not.
The contravention is one of entering the box and then having to stop within it due to the presence of stationary vehicles. Lots of councils get this wrong, there is a classic case of this on this forum running at the moment. Other thing is that only part of the vehicle needs to be in the box for a contravention.
Please also post the PCN.
I tried to look at the video for the alleged contravention of 3rd Oct, today is now the 14th, (yes, I work <for free> late !), but Ealing say it is still being prepared for viewing, and say this takes 24 hours, presumably from the PCN date, so what is the date of the PCN ? (Best if you just post it !)

We've seen this ridiculous camera angle with foliage before.
I'll see if I can get the video as now requested on Viewmypcn.
