Waltham forest. Section 137 Wilful obstruction of highway

Hi all
Can someone please help me. I've just received a pcn from the
council today (13.03.25) for something that happened on
09.10.24.
I have attached all the documents they have provided. Basically
I have been stopping here 2 or 3 times a week for past 5 years
or so as do 100s as there are a parade of shops and takeaways.
max I usually stay for is 5mins as I usually order food ahead.
Today they sent me this and saying they will also fine for every
other time I've parked here.
There are no signs to say no parking or stopping. There is a
bike lane and as the picture shows i park so that there lane is
left
I've not responded to them. Is there anything I can say to get
it cancelled? For what it's worth I usually have my son with me
who's autistic and a blue badge holder
Also from Google it says max they can charge is £50 yet they
charging me £100.

This is very unusual - it looks like footway parking, which
would normally be dealt with by a PCN.
The late issuing of this FPN is also odd. I think they have 6
months to serve it and this is a day over.
What is the Google Maps location?

I dnt get it. Every day all day people are stopping there. In
past week or so they've harder yellow blips on curb but that
will only mean no parking on curb/road no?

Isn't the location wrong? It's billet road. The bus stop is
guildsway.

You need to keep off the footway. As of Maps view, you can park
with no problem on the carriageway on the single yellow line
after whatever time its restriction stops - 6.30pm in this zone.
With a blue badge you get 3 hours at any time provided they've
not made it no loading as you indicate but a timeplate will tell
you when loading applies.
I'm sure someone will help with the FPN but usually these have
to be paid.

Even if I'm parked on pavement close to the shops and left
plenty of space of both cyclists and pedestrians?, seems unfair
to give ticket for this. There are no signs and barely there for
5mins
Also online it says its only wilful if after being told to move
I refuse to do so

Footway parking has been banned in London since the 1970s and
applies to all public-accessible areas off the carriageway.

Thanks
Il wait a few days in case others can help. I don't see why
they can't just put sign saying no stopping/parking. Every day
100s are parked there.
Also image shows my son waiting in car, will this help my case?
Also fact hat it was only few mins and I was within 10 meters
from car when collecting the takeaway

I will use that in my appeal to. They given name of the bus
stop. Guildway road is the side road opposite I was parked.
Will they not just respond by saying we given location of where
you were parked according to the bus stop?
