PCN on a double yellow line in tower hamlets
DIR By: Ash487

---------------------------------------------------------
I have recently been given a PCN on a double yellow line by an
enforcement officer. As I briefly parked on a double yellow line
for 5 mins to collect something. As I walked back to my car, the
officer was there printing out the PCN. He said he had monitored
my car for 7 mins and that was the timing on the PCN. From
(20:38 - 20:43) I took the ticket from him and he then started
to take pictures of the car. Me and my nephew quickly hopped
into the car and drove off whilst he was still taking the
photos. I didn’t have any hazard lights on nor was there
anything to show that I was unloading. The next day I viewed the
images that were available online on tower hamlets.gov. All the
pictures you could see me in front of the camera and you could
see my nephew in the passenger seat. Only when we got in the car
to drive off, the officer got a few good images of the back of
the car and the yellow lines. However, it is dark and the double
yellow lines are slightly faded. My hope here is that all 8
images online were timestamped at 20:43, but on the PCN it
states that the car was observed from 20:37 - 20:43. But there
are no photo evidence to prove the timings? The officer did say
that his bodywork camera is recording everything so could that
be used as evidence to show the timings the car was parked?
Any advice would be helpful.

It may surprise yo to learn that photos are not a requirement .

That said,
As usual, for meaningful advice we need to see the documents so
please help by having a read of

and post up here

both sides of the unredacted PCN ( leave everything in),
any council photos,
and
a GSV link to the location of the alleged contravention.

you have of it?

Regarding any evidence of loading, I have none. I just got out
of the car to help a family member into the building, up the
starirs and into their flat with some bags.

None of your images work for me.
You first said you were collecting something now it's helping
someone with bags into premises.
Exemptions are assisted alighting and loading but it sounds like
you don't have a strong case - how many bags, how heavy, how
far... was nephew no good for this...

Hi,
This is my first time using google drive. Could you please let
me know if you can view the images on the link below:

Regarding the reasoning, I was helping a family member carry
some bags up into the building, I assumed this would come under
loading/unloading.
My nephew couldn’t help as the bags would have been too heavy
for him. The bags were quite heavy, full of plates and mugs so I
told him to wait in the car. He said he didn’t see and officers
observing the car at any point whilst I was gone.

I told him to wait in the car.
there are a few direct contradictions in your account which are
likely to discredit your story going forward. I suggest you
start with what actually happened do the appropriate advice can
be given.

Good to see the GSV view.When somebody is on DYLs we always like
to look at the location, because there may also have been a
loading restriction which most people never notice. Here there
is no loading restriction. Your case seems to fall into the
loading exemption for yellow lines.
Please tell us more about the goods and how far you had to take
them.
