Hello,
Many thanks for your reply. This is my appeal word for word:
'Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to formally challenge this Parking Charge Notice.
I fully understand the requirement to park correctly within the marked bay lines. However, on the day in question, this was not possible through no fault of my own. The vehicle parked in the bay next to my car was positioned across the dividing line and encroaching into my bay. As a result, I had no safe or reasonable way to park entirely within the lines while still allowing my passenger to exit the vehicle.
My passenger was carrying items to donate to the Cancer Research charity shop directly adjacent to the parking bays. Due to the neighbouring car's position, if I had attempted to re-position my vehicle strictly within the marked lines, my passenger would have been physically unable to exit or unload the charity donations. I therefore had to adjust my position slightly to ensure safe access.
I would like to emphasise that I parked with care and consideration, minimising any deviation from the bay markings as much as the circumstances allowed. The situation was caused solely by the improper parking of the adjacent vehicle, waich left me with no practical alternative as you can see in the pictures provided by the parking officer. Given these circumstances, I respectfully request that the Parking Charge Notice be cancelled. I believe this was an unavoidable situation, and I acted responsibly and reasonably at all times.
Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I look forward to your confirmation that the notice has been cancelled.
Yours faithfully'
