PCN loading bay Liberty Bridge Road, Newham Council

Received a PCN for stopping in a loading bay. Had my child in
the back and she has chronic abdominal issues so had to get her
to the toilet pronto.
Had a Notice to Owner - and did the informal appeal. Just got a
rejection.
I am now trying to see if can go to the London Tribunals. Are
there any other things I can use for my appeal?
Here is a link to the rejection letter.

Please let me know if you need any more info!
Or should I just pay up?
Thank you as always.

They've got hearts of stone, haven't they ?

Sorry, but it's not clear if that letter is a rejection for reps
against the Notice to Owner, or reps against the original PCN.
This is important, because you must not ignore an NtO.
Taking the matter to London Tribunals means the full PCN penalty
will be in play. If you're happy with that then go ahead, but at
the moment, I'm struggling to think which of the statutory
grounds for an appeal would apply. You were parked in a loading
bay, so the only exemption would be boarding/alighting
passengers. I'm not sure if your narrative fits that particular
exemption. Of course the council could apply discretion but here
they haven't, to their eternal shame, but that's Great Britain
2026, isn't it ?
If you're minded to pay the discount, don't miss the deadline in
their letter, but if you can, wait a bit to see that others
might suggest.
