Parked or loading in restricted street
DIR By: privates

---------------------------------------------------------
Hope everyone is well,
long story short I was assisting a disabled person from the
coffee shop to the vehicle. Warden had seen clearly what was
going on. He said "ticket is printing already sir" so instead he
said "I will put a note on the ticket and just call this number
(on the plastic the ticket comes in) and let them know the
situation". So I done as asked but the woman from the helpline
explained no note has been put on there and I would have to
appeal it regardless as they can not cancel PCNs on there, main
point being the warden didn't even put the note on there.
I'm going to appeal based on the reasons above but was wondering
if there is any other grounds of appeal?

You've repeated your post for some reason.
Can you describe the circumstances more fully. Your thread hints
at what is called "assisted boarding" and therefore potentially
grounds for cancellation of the PCN.
To help us help you, please post-up a GSV link to the exact
location, as Queensway is a long street.

I believe OP was parked here given the lamp post reference in
the picture (and the building in the distance with the fancy
shape round the windows).

The above location is bang on.
Was helping my auntie from the coffee shop to the vehicle. This
is directly across the road with a safe location to park
Draft of appeal :
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am appealing this penalty charge on the assist boarding
exemption.
At the time of this penalty charge notice I was assist boarding
my family member whom is disabled from Dr. Power, 37 Queensway,
London W2 4QJ to the vehicle which was right across the street.
This was the closest place that would have been safe to assist
them from the coffee shop. During the assist the warden who had
issued the ticket had witnessed the situation but was not able
to cancel the ticket as he stated it is printing already. He had
then told me he will put a note on the penalty charge and for me
to contact the number on the notice which I had done so but they
had asked me to write an appeal. Due to there trouble walking I
must have parked in this location to assist them after our time
was done in the coffee shop.
I ask for this penalty charge to be cancelled due to the above
reasons. I will to this email attach a witness statement signed.
Thank you.

Try this: -
I wish to challenge this penalty charge on the basis that the
contravention did not occur because I was engaged in boarding a
passenger to the vehicle under the assisted boarding exemption.
At the time of this penalty charge notice I was assisting my
disabled family member to board my car. The person concerned had
previously attended a consultation with Dr. Power, 37 Queensway,
London W2 4QJ, and due to a walking disability had gone to the
adjacent cafe to the surgery, to await my arrival. When I
arrived, I was only able to park the car on the opposite side of
the street to the cafe. This was also the closest place that
would have been safe for me to assist them from the coffee shop
to the car.
During the time from collecting my family memeber from the cafe,
and assisting him to the vehicle, the warden who had previously
issued the ticket had subsequently witnessed the situation. He
told me that he was not able to cancel the ticket because it was
printing already. He had then told me he will make an additional
note against the notes for the penalty charge and told me to
contact the number on the notice which I have done so, but the
official who took my call asked me to write an appeal and submit
this as verbal appeals are not acceptable.
I therefore request that this penalty charge to be cancelled on
the basis that boarding and alighting passengers is an exemption
to the restrictions in the parking bay. I will to this email
attach a witness statement signed.

OP, we need a straight story pl.
You were assisting someone from the doctor's or from a coffee
shop?
In either case, did you park and then immediately collect the
person i.e. if at the doctor's, they were ready, and if at the
coffee shop you didn't join them for a drink?
Helping someone, however much in need, with whom you've been
chatting over a latte isn't assisted boarding, there are very
strict conditions which apply to this exemption.
Let's be clear and then make the case equally clearly.

[member=61]privates[/member] please give us a link to the exact
spot on google street view. Looking at the CEO photos, I don't
think the restriction is signed properly.

Is the restriction signed properly or shall I proceed with above
appeal?
