Updated version:
I’m sincerely sorry that my parking has caused concern. I always
try to park properly and within the rules, and it was not my
intention to cause any issue.
When I parked the night before, the end of the bay was really
difficult to judge because the road was covered by standing
water and leaves. A lot of it cleared up by the next morning
when the PCN photos were taken, but even in those you can see
that some road markings were still obscured by standing water.
For example, in the picture with the white scooter, the
kerb-side yellow line is submerged for several feet behind the
vehicle. I hope this reflects how difficult it was to see the
road markings and bay at the time of parking (which was a rainy
night when even more of the road was covered).
I also noticed that the PCN appears to have been issued
immediately, with no observation time recorded. As set out in
Brent’s published parking policy, a CEO is normally expected to
allow a minimum observation period in situations where a
statutory exemption, such as loading, might apply. With no
observation time recorded, it appears that this assessment may
not have been carried out.
Given the very poor visibility of the bay markings at the time I
parked, and the lack of any recorded observation to confirm that
no exemption applied, I would be very grateful if you could
consider cancelling the PCN as a matter of fairness and
discretion.

Please also send me the traffic management order for this
location if you reject my challenge.

Hi all, I've had the informal challenge rejected with absolutely
no reference to the content of the appeal. What is the suggested
path forward?

OK, main thing to establish is, are you the owner of the car ?
This is because the next enforcement stage is the sending of a
postal Notice to Owner to the owner as recorded on the V5C
Registration Certificate. If you want to take the matter further
and not pay the discount, you have to wait for this to be
served. If you're not the owner please tell about who owns the
car, is it a lease or hire company for instance ?
The discount option is lost if you wait for the NtO, but when
refusing representations against them, most councils re-offer
it. The exception is Havering. If you want to take the council
to London Tribunals, there is no discount option there at all.
