Thank you so much everyone. What a helpful place. And to those
of you who were upset I didn't reply for a along time - i'm so
sorry! It's my first time using the forum and I didn't realise
how active it was. I have jsut logged in to read all the
replies!
I was awaiting getting something in the post - from either the
council or the lease company. Thankfully it came direct from the
council as a notice to owner letter with a link for another
appeal option.
I plan to reply following [member=593]NightSoul[/member] 's
advice (thank you!)
I'll keep you updated.

Please post up all sides of the NtO, redacting only name and
address.
There are often mistakes in the 'small print'.

Thanks it's really just a standard letter though of how to
appeal etc. It only says 'the vehicle was allegedly involved in
the following parking contravention : 01 - park i a restricted
street during prescribed hours in X road at 17.25"
It was a single yellow line parking that resulted in the PCN
(not a restricted dsteeet as far as I'mn aware!) and orginal PCN
states the single yellow line as the offence

How would you know?
Do you know the mandatory content for such a notice?

^^ This.
There can be fatal flaws. How can you be certain it hasn't come
as a result of a transfer of liability from the lease co ?
It may be perfect, in which case you will have merely wasted a
little of you time, but it may not. It will determine the
required approach.
Your description suggests it was a restricted street.

[member=1302]RW468[/member] please post up the notice to owner
and a draft of your response. There's not much point in coming
here for advice if you're going to go off and do your own thing.
I also suggest when you next respond you tick the "Notify me of
replies" box under "Attachments and other options".
I'd also like to check the traffic order, but I can't as you've
given us absolutely nothing to work with.

Hi Everyone - thank you for the replies. Sorry for the slow
update. So I had a letter (attached) basically saying I still
have to pay as contravention code 01 applies saying that light
goods vehicles are allowed to stay for 2 minutes. Incidentally
they state the officer saw my vehicle from 17.23-17.35 and no
unloading or loading - although the photos show my car door
open. They say th notes say he had a conversation with me
stating he had been there for 3 minutes prior to issue of PCN
-so in there view that takes it to a total of 5 minutes.
There apparently was a no waiting restriction sign 1 meter away
- is that the same as a no loading sign?!
I'm not sure whether to contest further. I thought there wasn't
a sign- does the no waiting sign mean no loading too.
They say 'where your vehicle is parking it is permitted to stop
for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose or
picking or dropping passenger however you are not allowed to
leave your vehicle there.

This is total tosh. There is no legal requirement for a driver
to remain with the vehicle when carrying out boarding/alighting
activities. You were engaged in what is called "assisted
boarding", which involves collecting a vulnerable person from a
safe place and escorting them to the car to board. The same
applies with alighting.
So if it were me, I'd be taking them to adjudication. However,
please do as CP8759 asks, and post the documents.

Yes, but cp8759 wanted to see the Notice to Owner.
Clearly their letter was in response to reps against that, and
they haven't re-offered the discount, so it is now a total
no-brainer to take them to adjudication because the penalty does
not increase, and there are no additional costs.
