Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Manchester, code 01 for parking on dropped kerb

I thought the fact that I wasn't blocking anyone would mean it's OK for me to park there. I have parked there before with no issues. I just park there to grab some food from a nearby takeaway and I'm usually on my way within 15-20 minutes.

In all honesty I did not notice the dropped kerb - only the H-bar - which I was under the impression is considered an offence to park on but generally not enforced by parking attendants.

I parked on a dropped kerb which also has a H-bar on it. However, there is no driveway or vehicle access for this dropped kerb. Basically I wasn't blocking anyone from entering or exiting, nor is it a pedestrian crossing. However, come to think of it, it may be there for disabled access.

I saw the officer taking photos of my car and so I ran up to him but at that point he told me the PCN has already been issued and cannot be reversed.

The offence noted on the PCN says "Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours". To me that doesn't quite sound like it accurately describes the alleged offence. The only restrictions on this road are "Parking 3 hours & no return within 3 hours".

Also, only two pictures were taken of my car - both of the front of the car.

Is this PCN challengeable at all - possibly due to incorrect contravention code?
