Re: New "No Waiting" sign and immediate PCNs

Apologies if this sounds like an inquisition, but I like to get
comprehensive and unadulterated facts upfront because any
subsequent argument presented to an adjudicator would carry
conviction and more likely to be persuasive.
In parking 'speak', 'I was visiting my child in school' is not
'drop-off'. Having collected my granddaughter from school
yesterday, this is not a totally grey area. The time of
contravention would rule out routine drop-off for start of
school and collecting a child who's not well is not 'visiting'.
School play/assembly perhaps? Only you know.

I guess here the question is - is it different if I said my
child was being picked up from being unwell, or attending a 15
minute event?

From your perspective the facts are as they are, they don't
change because of a subsequent PCN. Once we know these we can
advise in the full knowledge that, to mix my metaphors, the
wheels won't subsequent fall off the rug under your feet.

OK for the sake of the PCN let's say they were unwell. Does this
then act as an acceptable appeal?

I suspect that you know that assisted boarding is an exemption
from a waiting restriction.
I leave it to you what account you present to the authority, but
not seeing a sign which was in situ (based upon contemporaneous
photos) within reasonable distance of your car on a discrete
length of SYL is unlikely to succeed at adjudication.
