Yes, I am the registered owner and the address on the rejection is correct.

Thanks, will appeal soon.

Please see the below draft and let me know if any changes required. Thanks.


---------------------
PCN Reference: Code 26 – “Parked in a special enforcement area more than 50 cm from the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking place.”

I am writing to formally challenge the above-mentioned PCN on the grounds that my vehicle was engaged in the exempt activity of assisted alighting for my disabled child (Blue Badge attached).

On the date in question, at approximately 8:00 pm, I briefly stopped outside my residence at [house number, street address, East Ham, E12] in order to assist my disabled child to safely exit the vehicle and enter our home. Due to the cold weather conditions and the absence of available parking spaces nearby (as shown in council photograph 1), it was necessary to stop momentarily directly outside my property.

At no point did I leave the vehicle unattended for any purpose other than assisting my child. I remained with the vehicle and exited only to help my child into the house. During this time, the Civil Enforcement Officer began issuing the PCN. Upon returning immediately to the vehicle, I attempted to drive away; however, the officer obstructed my vehicle and proceeded to affix the notice to the windscreen. The photographic evidence provided shows blurred images, which indicates that the vehicle was already in motion while photographs were still being taken.

The vehicle was stopped solely for the purpose of assisting a disabled child, which constitutes a reasonable and necessary exemption under the assisted alighting provisions. I respectfully request that these circumstances be taken into consideration and that the PCN be cancelled.

Thank you for your time and understanding.

Draft version of the appeal:

Dear Newham Council Parking Services,

I am writing to formally appeal the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) issued to my vehicle for Code 26: “Parked in a special enforcement area more than 50 cm from the edge of the carriageway and not within a designated parking place.”

On the date in question, at approximately 8:00 PM, I briefly stopped outside my home on [number, street address, East Ham, E12] to assist my disabled child in safely exiting the vehicle and entering the property. It was a cold evening, and there were no available parking spaces nearby, making it necessary for me to stop momentarily in front of my home.

I did not leave the vehicle unattended for any other purpose. I remained with the car and only stepped out to help my child into the house. While doing so, the enforcement officer began preparing the PCN. As soon as I returned to the car, I attempted to move away, but the officer blocked my vehicle and affixed the notice to the windscreen. The photographs taken show blurred images, indicating that the car was already in motion when the officer continued taking pictures.
This stop was solely for the purpose of assisting a disabled child, which is a reasonable and necessary action under the circumstances. I kindly request that you consider these mitigating factors and cancel the PCN in line with the principles of fairness and reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010.
Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

Tried to  upload the PCN to https://imgpile.com/  site, it says "banned" , so couldn't upload the PCN.

Thanks, Appealed as you suggested. Let youknow when the council comes back.

Hi All,

Newham council:

Received 2 PCNs, one for entering a school zone and another for turning into another road while leaving at the same time(minute). There is a restriction not to enter on certain times on both sides of the school.
PCNs :
PN63452708 :
 15:11 ,
 53J - Kempton Road Junction - E6 - Failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone(camera enforcement)
 Kempton Road/Hall Road

PN63452719 :
15:11 ,
53J - Kempton Road Junction - E6 - Failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone(camera enforcement)
Altemor Avenue/Kempton Road


It is a new restriction in my local area, I didn't know. However not prepared to pay 2 PCNs for the same entry/exit.

What shall I do, please advise.
