I work as a self employed driver for Amazon Flex using my car which I lease to work. On 24th February one of my stops was to an address in Grove park se12. As per attached screen shot the delivery was to 8 pallman mews.
Upon turning into pallman mews the resident of 8 pallman mews was standing at the end of the road and flagged me down as the parcel belongs to him, you see the customer in the pictures provided on the parking charge
As the road has double yellow lines and i didnt want to block the road I turned into a nearby parking space to which I proceeded to hand the parcel to the customer after confirming his name. After this I proceeded to deliver on the rest of my route.
The whole altercation was less than 3 minutes. A parking charge was sent to the leasing company on 6th March who then provided my details to LPS. I received a parking ticket in my name on 24th March and proceeded to appeal the parking charge on the grounds that I was engaged in the act of making a delivery at the time of the alleged contravention. The stop was necessary, brief, and directly related to a scheduled delivery to a resident of that very address, The vehicle was stationary for fewer than three minutes. This was not a case of unauthorised parking; it was a momentary stop to complete a legitimate commercial delivery.
My appeal was rejected. I have attached the response from London parking solutions.
Do I have any chance of winning an appeal with IAS or taking this to court? £100 is steep for being stationed for 2-3 minutes
