So that we can get a clear picture of what happened (and bearing
in mind we might need to make everything crystal clear to an
adjudicator), could you annotate a map showing were you parked
and all the various movements up to the point where you returned
to the car?

Dear City of Westminster,
I challenge liability for PCN WE51358534 on the ground that the
alleged contravention did not occur.
I understand why the CEO would have issued the penalty charge,
what the CEO could not have known is that at the time I was
assisting my mother in alighting the vehicle to a nearby
restaurant. Unfortunately my mother suffered a fracture to her
foot as a result of a vehicle hitting her in a recent accident,
I attach medical evidence of this. Because of this she requires
assistance to walk and I could not have left her to make her way
to her destination on her own.
I had originally hoped to park next to the restaurant, and
before stopping on Litchfield Street I did enter adjacent roads
to try and find a parking spot but I didn't find any available
parking spaces so I expanded my search further out, turning into
any road I could until I gave up and stopped on the double
yellow lines on Litchfield Street.
The intention had originally been to go to the Barshu
restaurant, but as we were walking there my mother realised that
she had forgotten to make a booking. On the spur of the moment a
decision was made to go to the Rasa Sayang restaurant instead,
which I was familiar with because I had eaten there once before.
I quickly escorted her down the road and left her in the
restaurant where a friend of hers would join her, and I returned
back to my car.
I have uploaded a map illustrating the journey from the car to
the restaurant at (link) and as you might imagine my mother was
not able to walk at a brisk pace.
In light of the above, at the time my vehicle was stopped for
the purposes of assisted alighting which is permitted at this
location, it follows that the alleged contravention did not
occur and the PCN should be cancelled.
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]
I will PM you a link to put in the representation, it will
redirect to imgur.com/nKEeQlu but if you give them the link I'll
PM you, we can use the click count to confirm whether they've
looked at it or not (obviously do not click on that link
yourself as we want the click count to remain at zero). If they
don't click on it, we can then prove they've failed to consider
all of the evidence. If they say in the rejection that they've
considered all the evidence, we've got them for lying as well.
Obviously don't upload the picture to the council website or
that would deny us the potential failure to consider.

Thank you for the draft representation.
If this representation is rejected, do they re-offer the
discount? I'm just curious because if they do not re-offer the
discount, then proceeding now will be a commital decision and
I'd like to know how you would assess the likelihood of the
appeal succeeding.

Where do I submit the representations? I have not received an
NtO in the mail and the original site
(
HTML https://pcnpayment.westminster.gov.uk/pcnonline/step2.php)
does
not let me challenge twice.
Additionally, it is saying that the penalty is at full rate £130
now. Which would be incorrect based on "Payment at the reduced
rate can be made within 14 days from the date of this letter
(12/09/2023)" - so I should have still had until tomorrow to pay
the reduced rate for what it's worth.

You'll have to wait for the Notice to Owner and then use my
draft to make formal representations against that.

Date of notice (NtO): 17/10/2023
Formal representations submitted: 19/10/2023
56 day period ended on 14/12/2023, which was yesterday and I
have still not received a reply from the council.
Are councils still bound by the 56 day rule for parking penalty
charges?

Be aware that the 56 days is from when they receive your
representations, not the date you send them off.
