I think I'll just pay this one unless anyone thinks I stand a chance of getting them to let me off?

No it was a pair of glasses in and a pair of glasses out and I was driving a Smart car.
Well, I don't think you'd convince an adjudicator that you were engaged in loading, but see what others say.

Were you engaged in commercial delivery work, or was this just a private exchange ? The restriction allows loading but delivering and collecting a pair of specs hardly counts as loading, but you might get waway with it if you were a delivery driver.

I parked in Harben Parade NW3 at 1207 on Thursday 8/1/26 to deliver one pair of glasses and collect one other pair from Vision Express.

I assumed it was OK to park briefly because the red route sign said loading was permitted between 7am-4pm. I am now being asked for evidence which I don't have.

I might be able to get Vison Express to provide confirmation that I was delivering and collecting.

Here's the link to the images of the correspondence: https://we.tl/t-WGzWHMpVzA

Thank you in advance for your help!
