Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN on a double yellow line in tower hamlets
« Last post by Ash487 on Yesterday at 11:53:27 am »Hi,
Can you please read my draft copy for review;
I have waited for thr Notice to owner to arrive. I am submitting a request that the above PCN be cancelled, as at the time it was served I was engaged in loading,(an exemption to yellow lines). I was engaged in conveying domestic goods such as heavy kitchen items consisting of pots and pans, an airfyer, blender and other kitchen accessories weighing a total of 28Kg. These were mostly packed in big heavy duty ikea bags to handle the weight and bulk. As there was no free parking spaces nearby it was necessary to park on the closest yellow lines to convey them to the chronos building, 23 Mile end road, E1 4TN which is a short distance away. I was assisting someone whos hasn't got the physical capability of carrying such heavy household items alone. I was not intending on leaving the car for longer than a few minutes but I did not realise that from the car to the main gate of the builindg is roughly a minute walk, after entering the main gate you must walk a short distant futher across the courtyard and enter a secondary gate into the building and then go up 4 flights of stairs to the residence. Please bear in mind that this whole journey takes longer whilst being weighed down with 28 kg worth of heavy items. This was the only route to the building and I was the only help for this vulnerable person at the time. Just because your CEO was not there at the time of which I left the car with the bags in hand (which would have been 1 minute before he supposedly arrived and started his observation of the vehicle)
I was most definitely unloading and I will attach the images of the bags that were carried to the building.
I therefore request that the PCN be cancelled. I was exercising my right to load/unload. I believe that a brief observation of 5 mins from your CEO is insufficient and that this case therefore will most definitely uphold with the London Tribunals. I find it highly unfair that tower hamlets council allow their CEO's to only observe a vehicle for 5 minutes before issuing a PCN. Even when the hazards on the vehicle are left on and a passenger in the car. Tower Hamlets council are cheating their residents by what I believe to be fraudulently taxing car drivers through illegal PCN's.

Ashraf
