Background
Parked on Ilford lane, got out to sort parking (with child),
felt unwell and walked into the shop to sit down get better
reception as net wasn’t good either so I could promptly “pay”
for the 1 hour which is FREE.
Came back to car and see a ticket, I began entering details on
the parking app at 1:03 and the ticket was issued at 1pm, with
photos taken at 12:59:40 seconds
I appealed explaining my condition, 15 weeks pregnant and on
medication, feeling sick, went to shop thought WiFi would be
better and easier quicker to sort the free 1 hour, highlighted
only few minutes after parking.
Appeal rejected 15/01/2026 with evidence from ringo / pay app
when I started the parking
Attached full letter in drive link
In between I sent a written letter sharing medical details but
advised not to and wait for NTO
NTO received 18/02/2026
Any advice on how to tackle this moving forward, find it really
upsetting that they can issue and don’t reverse after the
information provided

Time is allowed to pay for parking, or else nobody could ever
park legally. You now have a choice, (1) pay the discount, or
(2) wait for the Notice to Owner and submit reps against that.
These reps will be broadly the same as your initial challenge,
but updated to answer what they said in their rejection letter.
Redbridge normally re-offer the discount at this stage, even
though they don't have to. However, with councils so greedy for
money nowadays, the only place you'll get an unbiased judgement
is at London Tribunals with the full PCN penalty in play. If you
win you pay nothing, if you lose you pay the full PCN penalty
but there are no additional costs.
Is the car yours, and is the V56C Registration Certificate
up-to-date addresswise ?

They are saying it must be a medical emergency to be a few
minutes late in paying...
They have a duty to act fairly and this is just silly.

Should I reiterate reasons from informal appeal again?

Your initial challenge should form the basis for your reps
against the NtO, but needs to emphasise that it is surely not
the councils position that only an emergency is a reason for a
very slight delay in making payment to park. Emphasise that
allowing time to pay for a parking session is the basis for the
whole regime of "pay-and-display" parking, and you do not
consider that the time you took to make payment was unreasonable
in your present circumstances of (1) 15 weeks into a pregnancy,
and (2) on medication, one of the side effects toether with the
pregnancy makes you feel badly sick and tired.

[member=12]Incandescent[/member] rejected the appeal. Your
experienced opinion, should I take this further given how unfair
it is? Also it’s £0 for the hour. In response they say the
conditions (pregnancy and medication) are not serious.

So you've registered a tribunal appeal?
You need to opt for a telephone or online hearing so you can
talk to the adjudicator.
Do you have a date?

[member=2249]stamfordman[/member] thanks for your message, I
have appealed and waiting for date. as part of appeal I
reiterated and provided evidence of medical condition and
prescription
should I include the Ringo parking data too as part of evidence,
the council provided this in one of the letter to me stating I
had paid (£0) but it was 2-3 minutes after the PCN pictures were
taken
