       Hi - need some help /advice please.
       I parked in a loading-only bay in a red route for around 5 mins
       whilst my wife went to get some bread & milk from Tesco on
       Cranbrook Rd.
       Am I bang to rights here?

       Sign tells you it is a 'Goods Vehicles Only' loading bay. Did
       you not bother reading the sign, or did you just chance your arm
       no CEO would come along ? You need to be aware that Red Routes
       can be enforced by CCTV as in your case.
       I see no robust appeal argument to take to London Tribunals (LT)
       for the actual contravention, which seems to be made out. I say
       LT, because the council will inevitably reject any reps you
       submit.
       There may, however, be a technical appeal argument based on
       Redbridge mismanagement of the enforcement process, so wait a
       bit to see what might be suggested. Appeals of this nature
       inevitably have to end up at LT as the council will reject them.
