Hello,
I am seeking some advice on behalf of my elderly father. I will stick to the facts that I have been told as this is now at the NTO stage and as a pensioner it is causing him considerable stress so would appreciate any advice if anything can be done - or if £130 should now be paid.
The vehicle was parked in London Borough of Newham, Katherine Road E7 which is quite a busy road and not unusual to see cars parked either completely on the footpath or with "one or more wheels on the footpath.."
A visit was made to a shop to pick up some items and the vehicle was driven by a family member and parked with both wheels on the pavement. My father has a mobility issue so a valid blue badge was also displayed. From examining the pictures, it appears to show CEO placing PCN on windscreen. HOWEVER, from speaking to both Father and Helper - they were both none the wiser until the arrival of NTO - and both state that when they returned to vehicle there was 'No PCN on the windscreen, therefore we were unaware until the NTO arrived'. They also state it is possible someone could have tampered with or removed the ticket inside the yellow wrapper.
Obviously this isn't a plausible defence and I can't go back to the council with this.
I have asked for the exact location they were parked so I can see the GSV images - however looking at the images - in the background it can be clearly seen that there are other vehicles that are parked wholly on the pavement (white mercedes)..
I am aware that there is a blanket ban in London for vehicles parking with wheels on or over a footpath unless prescribed by signage.
Please see images.



I have asked for the exact location so I can get a GSV and post it up.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
