       Well a wittiness statement from him is the bare minimum you
       would need. It's not exactly very likely that the business
       owners are going to be checking random tribunal decisions to
       check if any of the employees have given a statement.

       Thanks,
       Ok will he need to sign the document and post it to council? or
       i need to include this in my representation to the council. Also
       will at any stage required to attend the tribunal to give
       statement?
       I can ask him and see id he is ok to give witness statement.
       Regards

       He will need to provided it to you and you will need to provide
       it to the council with your representation.

       OP, just to remind you of the exemption:
       5)The fourth exception is where—
       (a)the vehicle is being used for the purposes of delivering
       goods to, or collecting goods from, any premises, or is being
       loaded from or unloaded to any premises,
       (b)the delivery, collection, loading or unloading cannot
       reasonably be carried out in relation to those premises without
       the vehicle being parked as mentioned in subsection (1),
       The driver also has to prove to the satisfaction of the
       adjudicator(I think it's reasonable to assume that the council
       would reject) that delivering could not reasonably have been
       carried out with the vehicle parked elsewhere.
       But if this got to adjudication procedural matters would also
       come into play anyway.

       Will the letter from the scrap yard not enough to prove that
       vehicle is parked for delivering stuff?
       Also the road side car park was full and that the only place
       available to park for short time.
       Thanks

       Delivering is not sufficient. The second condition is equally
       important. And as you probably realise, while the first part
       could be proved objectively the latter would likely not because
       no-one took photos or made notes of the situation in the area as
       regards other places to park.
       You can advance your claim that 'delivery could not ........',
       but tobe blunt it's a long shot and IMO, you should be aware
       that winning at adjudication against this contravention using
       the 'delivery' exemption is very difficult.
       But perhaps a council procedural c**k-up might win the day for
       you.
