OK so assisted boarding / alighting is an exemption, and it's
reasonable for two adults to accompany 2 elderly / disabled
persons plus an infant.
Can you sketch a map showing the exact route you took once you
all got out of the car? Preferably on google maps or similar.

You can put forward your argument based in assisted alighting
but as things stand I don't think you'll succeed on this point
but you might squeeze a procedural impropriety out of them.
The sheer distance and time away from the car would IMO act
against you, and bear in mind that the council know the minimum
time you were away i.e. from when the CEO's observations
commenced to when your car was removed...but we don't.
This is not about whether we believe 'your car was kept there
only temporarily', the council have the exact times.

The map is helpful, what did you plan on doing with the car once
you dropped your parents off and returned to the vehicle?

I was planning to park the car in the car park at the end of the
same road.

Slight revision:
[indent]
Dear London Borough of Hillingdon,
The alleged contravention did not occur, because my car was only
stopped temporarily and I was entitled to the exemption for
assisted alighting. I was visiting the Ruislip Lido for the
first time with my wife, my elderly and disabled parents and my
4 year old son. My elderly and disabled parents became unwell
near to the Lido Reservoir centre, so I stopped my car on that
road for few minutes so I could help them move out of the car
into the Lido centre where they could sit. I left them with my
wife and child so she could take care of them while I could go
and park the car in the car park at the end of the road. To my
surprise, my car was not there when I returned back and it was
towed away from that location.
As we had to accompany two elderly adults and a 4 year old
child, it was reasonably necessary for my wife and myself to
leave the car for this purpose.
I did not have any plans to park the vehicle on the road and the
intention had always been to park it in the Hillingdon council
car park as we had recently moved into Hillingdon area and
received our Hillingdon first card and parking in the car park
was free for us, but it would not have been possible for my
parents to walk the additional distance.
I attach a map showing the route taken to accompany my
passengers before returning to move the car.
In light of the above the alleged contravention did not occur,
so I invite you to cancel the PCN.
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]

I cannot guarantee the outcome, but I would carry on as it seems
they have dismissed your representations without spelling out a
proper reason (did they not believe you? Did they think you
simply took too long? the rejection just doesn't say).
Do you want to appeal, and if so would you like me to represent
you at the tribunal?
