Hounslow / Parked with one or more wheels on or over a footpath
/ Parkfield Rd Feltham London

---------------------------------------------------------
Today, when I went to the post office for 3 minutes, I saw a
parking ticket when I got back to my car. I drove away and
returned literally 1 minute later to take photos for the appeal.
I didn’t notice a single yellow line; there was a car parked on
the opposite side of the street, so to leave room for it to
pass, I drove onto the sidewalk. That resulted in a ticket.
Should I appeal? Honestly, I’m furious—I should have just parked
on the street and not worried about blocking traffic. I also
have this feeling that the person who gave me the ticket was
sitting in that parked car.
Link to the photos(ticket, ticket photo evidence 12:54-12:56,
street photo 13:01) :

Your link doesn't seem to be there.
So did you get two PCNs or just one ?

Parking off-carriageway has been an offence in London since the
70s and requires no lines or signs, it applies everywhere in the
London councils area. Were you not aware of this ?
Very difficult to overturn, I'm afraid. The CEO's photos are
clear enough. However your narrative implies you got two PCNs,
one when you got back to your car, and another when you returned
to take photos. Please clarify.

blocking traffic.
I suspect you wrote this in haste and with your frustration
still in control.
Remember(drivers often forget) all the CEO saw was your car
clearly parked on the footway and, judging by the photos,
obstructing free passage along the footway. Hence the PCN. They
knew nothing about your reasons for parking there.
Do any of these exemptions apply: see 15(3)
