Within the period of 56 days beginning with the date on which we

representations, we will cancel this notice and you will not
have to pay the penalty charge. If you have made representations
within the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which
this notice is served, or if you have made representations
outside that period but we have not disregarded them, and we do
not accept those representations, you will receive a Notice of
Rejection. You will have a period of 28 days beginning with the
date of the service of the Notice of Rejection to either pay the
penalty charge or to appeal against our decision to the
independent adjudicator. The Notice of Rejection will provide
information on how to make an appeal to the adjudicator. The
adjudicator will then consider the case and make a decision
based on all the evidence provided. Please note that an
adjudicator can not allow an appeal on the basis of mitigating
circumstances but may refer the case back to the authority for
further consideration.
I confirm that to the best of my knowledge the representation
that I have made is a truthful account, and that I am aware that
should I give false testimony, knowingly or recklessly then I am
committing an offence. If found guilty on conviction I am liable
to a fine.

No chance on the contravention.
Someone may have something on Bromley's PCN/website wordings.

If you're doing that again it was fine to stop on double or
single yellow lines for loading provided there are no loading
restrictions, and boarding/alighting a passenger is an exemption
regardless of loading status.
Most London bus stops are no stopping clearways.
You can of course ask for discretion.

I genuinely didn’t even realise I couldn’t just stop for 5
seconds to pick someone up. I only did it as he was carrying a
few boxes etc and the best of it is that they were order or
services and some pictures for a funeral of our cousin.
