Hi guys,
Hope everyone is well.
I needed assistance in regards to PCNs below :

Draft :
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally appeal against the above-referenced
Penalty Charge Notices issued to vehicle registration SN74 TYB
at Lonsdale Road and Colville Gardens, London Borough of
Kensington & Chelsea.
I respectfully request that all four PCNs be cancelled on the
grounds that the vehicle was involved in a road traffic
accident/collision, which rendered it undriveable and required
it to be recovered by a tow truck.
Circumstances of the Incident:
Following the collision, the vehicle came to rest on Lonsdale
Road, where it suffered significant damage including a buckled
wheel and fluid leaks, making it impossible to move under its
own power. PCNs KE76554842 and KE76410525 were issued whilst the
vehicle was stationary at this location following the accident.
A recovery vehicle was subsequently arranged to tow the vehicle;
however, due to the severity of the damage — specifically the
buckled wheel causing instability on the tow truck — the vehicle
could not be safely transported in a single attempt. As a
result, the recovery process was interrupted and the vehicle had
to be temporarily left in the nearby vicinity of Colville
Gardens whilst a suitable solution was arranged. PCNs KE76555109
and KE76284872 were then issued at this secondary location.
At no point was the vehicle parked wilfully or negligently. It
was left in these locations solely due to the unavoidable and
exceptional circumstances of a road traffic accident, entirely
beyond my control. The entire situation was dictated by the
practicalities of safely recovering a severely damaged vehicle.
The damage to the front end of the vehicle is clearly visible in
the PCN photographic evidence, which I submit corroborates my
account of events. I will also be providing supporting
documentation from the garage and recovery company confirming
the vehicle was recovered following a collision.
Evidence Enclosed:
∙
∙
I trust that upon review of the above, you will agree that the
issuing of these PCNs was not warranted given the exceptional
circumstances, and I respectfully request that all four Penalty
Charge Notices be cancelled in full.
Should you require any further information, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Yours faithfully,

OK, nothing wrong with that, but be aware this is just an
informal challenge against the PCNs, and councils invariably
send Fob-Off letters rejecting them all. Indeed I do wonder if
the representations are ever read !
Anyway, ram it in and post their response when you get it.
Any photos of the vehicle ? I would include some with your reps
as proof.
