Manchester city council PCN

Hi,
Driver received PCN for parking for 5 mins on the footpath,
driver delivering stuff to the business next door on the street.
PCN reason - "who had the reason to believe that following
contravention had occurred and that penalty charge is now
payable: 27 Parked adjacent to a dropped footway".
Appealed with council they rejected saying below reasons -
"You were given a PCN for parking adjacent to a dropped footway.
A dropped footway is
where the footway, cycle track or verge has been lowered to
facilitate easy access, including
assisting wheelchair users, and other pedestrians.
Dropped footways do not require signs or lines and any vehicle
parking alongside a dropped
footway is liable to receive a PCN and; where appropriate, the
vehicle may be removed
incurring further charges.
You have stated that I were loading and do not feel you were
causing any obstruction,
however in this instance there is no exemption for loading.
Dropped footways, as per the
Highway Code, must be left clear at all times.
I have carefully considered your case and I am satisfied that
your PCN was issued correctly,
and as such, I have taken the decision not to cancel it".

Please post a GSV Streetview link to the location, so we can see
what is there without the car there. At the moment, your
narrative gives a mitigation argument, which they almost always
reject, (like 95%).

Well, I have to say that it looks as if both corners here are
droppped. Here is an earlier GSV view showing this: -

Being parked for only 5 minutes and on a delivery is not a
reason for cancellation, it comes under mitigation as I said
before. If you want to fight this, you have the right to do so,
provided you are the vehicle owner and hold the V5C Registration
Certificate with your name and address on it. You can wait for
the Notice to Owner, submit reps to that, and when rejected,
register an appeal with the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. The
downside is you have to risk the full PCN penalty. No discount
option.

As already discussed here, but do be aware that the discount is
lost atthe Notice to Owner stage. However, many councils do
re-offer it to save themselves the hassle of having to prepare
an evidence pack for the adjudicators. This is because if the
discount is not r-offered, it becomes a total no-brainer for the
appellant to take them to adjudication because the penalty
remains the same and there are no additional costs. Make them do
at least some work for their money !
