City of Westminster - Code 01 Parked in restricted street -
Palmer Street

Hi All
After some advice, received the below today. The vehicle was
stationary in the bay on Palmer Street, but it was because I was
delivering 10 boxes to the Asticus Building, is it worth
appealing this?
Thanks!

Hi jays86,
I assume this was for stopping on double yellow lines?
I'm no expert but you need to confirm the restrictions in "the
bay" but could also try to get the Traffic Order details from
the council to confirm the regulations have been properly
applied
Good luck

Not a bay but yellow lines.
Loading is an exemption but you need to describe in detail what
was going on and for how long.
Was this personal or business. Any paperwork.
There is no observation on the PCN.

It was personally returning some items due to their value, it
took me no longer than 10 minutes, and I have a photo of the
boxes that were returned in the office of where they were being
returned to.

You have a good case but I wouldn't volunteer a time - did you
use the trolley or make multiple trips.
The idea is to say you delivered and returned to the car
straight away.
Any chance of a note from office manager confirming delivery.

I made a single trip with the trolley, the office was on the 7th
Floor, but essentially it was enter the building, collect the
trolley, back to the vehicle, load the trolley, back up to the
office, photograph of returned items, and then back to the car.
No guarantee but i can ask if they'll provide me with something
to confirm the delivery.

Unless you have something from the recipient then IMO you would
struggle. Objectively your current evidence amounts to a photo
of boxes on a trolley and your say-so. Sorry, but in the venal
world of enforcement authorities this doesn't amount to much.
In short: 'No guarantee but i can ask if they'll provide me with
something to confirm the delivery.'. I'd get on it now.

Tincombe is being a tad gloomy - you only have to be credible to
an adjudicator to win this at the tribunal but of course the
council may well be awkward.

So should I hold off putting my appeal in until I've got
something from the office manager, or press ahead? And is it as
simple as just stating what I was doing there, and that no
contravention occurred as the vehicle was unloading?

Only you know what you were doing.
Your credibility at adjudication would be based on the
conviction of your argument when conveyed verbally. With the
council, you've only got dry language on paper. Gloom or not,
unless you provide something else to the council then they're
99.999% likely to reject.
So you'd be at adjudication with your conviction and
determination to convey to the adjudicator that you were
loading, but the full penalty would be in play.
We do see this or similar from adjudicators often: 'I found the
appellant to be a credible and truthful witness and I accept
that they were....'
As regards should you get a statement from your witness now or
later, IMO adjudicators would expect you to present your best
evidence at the representations stage.
