       Did i breach a PSPO and commit an offence

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       For context i am a private hire driver and using a hire vehicle.
       So i was carrying out my work and i ended up at heathrow
       airport, dropping off a passenger. Left the airport, filled up
       on some petrol and found a place to rest or park.
       I was approached by hillingdon council enforcement telling me i
       am suspected of breaching a PSPO which i was totally unaware of
       near heatrow, i know there is a PSPO in the neighbouring borough
       of Spelthorne.
       Near or around the parking bay there were no signs of an order
       in place, and i was told that the enforcement came into effect
       February 2025, they claimed that TFL sent out an email regarding
       this, but this is not true. I doubled checked my inbox and there
       wasn’t any information regarding this.
       They asked for my identity, i provided my TFL badge, but after
       this i questioned them, since i was genuinely confused, because
       i knew of PSPO in Spelthorne but not in certain areas of
       Hillingdon borough.
       I asked them which area it covered and they said heathrow
       villages (where i was), i searched on my phone but couldn’t find
       it. I eventually found it. At the end they asked me for my
       postcode which i refused. They told me i would get another FPN
       if i don’t leave within the next 5 minutes, which i did. They
       took the vehicle reg and TFL vehicle number. The vehicle is not
       registered with me so i expect to receive a FPN within the next
       few weeks.
       How deep of a trouble am i in? Did i commit an offence by not
       giving my details?
