Thank you for writing to us.
Although your Penalty Charge Notice was correctly given, we have cancelled it on this
occasion based on the information provided.
If you get another Penalty Charge Notice in similar circumstances, we may not be able to
cancel it.

Just checking for any more advice before I ask her to write the statement and send her receipt.

She's found a receipt of some shopping she did on the day, but not the exact item I helped her carry, although I did take some of those items on the the receipt also.

I can definitely get a witness statement from her. What needs to be included in this?

Thanks again for the help throughout Christmas and New Year, I can imagine it's a busy time for all, so much appreciated.

Nottingham city council has responded:

Thank you for writing to us.

 We have carefully considered what you say but you have not provided enough evidence
 for us to cancel your Penalty Charge Notice. Please see below for what you must do next.
 You have these choices:- We will reconsider your case if you send us documentary evidence of loading or
 unloading e.g. a delivery note, a receipt/invoice for goods or a job sheet (we need
 this because the civil enforcement officer watched your vehicle and saw no loading
 or unloading taking place). You need to do this within 14 days of the date of this
 letter. Please send a photocopy (not the original) and quote your Penalty Charge
 Notice number (see above).
 OR- You can pay the discount charge of £35.00 if your payment reaches us within 14 days of
 the date of this letter.- You can pay £70.00 within 28 days of the date your Penalty Charge Notice was issued.- You can make a representation against your Penalty Charge Notice by using a Notice to
 Owner form. The vehicle's owner will automatically receive the form if the Penalty Charge
 Notice has not been paid within 28 days of being issued. The form offers you the chance to
 make a representation against your Penalty Charge Notice or pay the full £70.00

I do not have a delivery note, receipt or job sheet. Only a phone call to the acquaintance.

How about this?

Dear Nottingham City Council,

The allegation on the face of the PCN is "Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours".
At the time of the allegation, I was making a prearranged collection. The package I needed to collect was from Lace Market Hotel, directly opposite where the vehicle was parked. The resident of the hotel has impaired mobility and asked for assistance in handling perishable goods. I offered to collect these from her room.
The vehicle was observed from 19:51 to 19:56, at the time I was in the hotel receiving the package.

I believe that this qualifies for the loading exemption as I only took as long as necessary and there are no nearby parking bays. I therefore request for leniency due to the exceptional circumstances.

Yours sincerely.

No pay bays near where I was parked.
Please see draft below:

Dear Nottingham City Council,


The alleged contravention did not occur. The allegation on the face of the PCN is "Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours". I wish to exercise my right for loading exemption under Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 2016 and associated local traffic enforcement guidelines.
The package I needed to collect was from Lace Market Hotel, directly opposite where the vehicle was parked. The resident of the hotel has impaired mobility and asked for assistance in handling perishable goods. I offered to collect these from her room.
The vehicle was observed from 19:51 to 19:56, at the time I was in hotel receiving the package. By the time I had returned to the vehicle, The PCN had been attached to the windscreen and the officer was not present.

(Side note: I am not sure if the below point is applicable or not, please let me know if I should delete it)

I also note the authority is not entitled to charge £70 for this penalty because the high-level charge of £70 can only be imposed if the wording of the contravention is that found in the table at schedule 2 to The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (Guidelines on Levels of Charges) (England) Order 2007, and the wording found on the PCN does not appear in that table. It follows that even if the contravention alleged had occurred, the only penalty that could be demanded would have been £50. As the penalty demanded exceeds the amount due by law in any event, the penalty must be cancelled.

The acquaintance isn't the most physically abled, but otherwise is not registered as physically disabled. She just needed help as the item was bulky and I offered to take it from the hotel room.

I'll wait for other responses until Monday, otherwise I am mindful that my current argument is considered weak, and may just have to attempt a potentially fruitless appeal.

Any tips on how I word this would be appreciated though.

Thanks

Thanks Stamfordman and HC Andersen.

How would I establish my appeal if it was a case of an acquaintance staying at the hotel who had a package of frozen goods with no means of storage or convenient transport?

I am a private individual and was collecting a parcel from the Lace Market Hotel. The parcel was a food parcel intended for a Christmas dinner.

I parked on the yellow line and went to the the Lace Market Hotel where I waited for the package, collected it, and then returned a few minutes later.

I did not see any CPZ signs on the way, this may have been something I overlooked. Nevertheless, under traffic regulations, loading and unloading are permissible activities on yellow lines, provided they are necessary, continuous, and do not exceed a reasonable duration.

Good afternoon and merry xmas everyone,

I have provided the following PCN details before stating my case:
PCN number: NG45700814
Served on: 18/12/24
CEO: 2716
"who had reason to believe that the following contravention has ocured and that a penalty charge is now payable 01
01 - parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours"
Date of contravention: 18/12/24 19.56
location: HIGH PAVEMENT
description of location: op os 27
reg: EX67NDY
observed from: 19.51 to 19.56

I was parked at this location (just in front of the royal mail van.)
https://maps.app.goo.gl/cCH1MoPsC5Dcumtj8

As I was expecting a delivery from the hotel opposite (Lace market hotel), the package was roughly 5-10kg, I parked on the single yellow line assuming this was fine. There were no signs that were visible to explain this single yellow line so naturally I thought it was safe to park, there was one other vehicle parked behind me at the time also making a delivery. By the time I had returned with the package, the PCN was stuck on my windscreen (completely soaking wet from the rain might I add, could they not use a plastic bag?)

I apologise for the late post as I am aware I will only have 14 days for the reduced payment (the standard boilerplate PCN discount). Is it true that the discount remains even if they reject my appeal, as long as I appealed within 14 days?

Hopefully my case is solid enough to dispute this PCN, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
