Yes you can claim the loading exemption but it is up to you to
prove you are entitled to do so. The test is need not
convenience so evidence what you were delivering to the post
office and explain why it took so long.
Also explain why the PCN was served by post as there are limited
grounds when this is allowed
Please post all of the notice redact only your name and address
we need to check the accuracy of the document

The PCN has been served by post because, according to the CEO
notes about your vehicle, you drove off before the PCN could be
served to the vehicle or driver. Yet you say you saw no CEO at
any time, or any PCN, so drove off after making your delivery.
I have to say that carrying a 10kg parcel any distance to a post
office would be a struggle even for somebody in good health, so
I think you have a good case, but you need to prove that you
made this delivery. You should have some sort of receipt, and
maybe a work instruction, so include copies of these with your
representations. If you have a document with the parcel weight
also include a copy of this, and any more details you can
obtain.
So why not write out a draft of what you propose to send and
post it up here for a review.

Here are the CEO photos:

They look suspicious to me because normally in a drive-away
case, you see photos of the driver or at least of the car being
driven away.
Anyway, do you have a receipt from the post office for the
parcel? If so, please post it up and I'll draft a representation
for you.

There's no weight on the receipt so we'll need to put some more
details in the representation.
What was in the parcel please?
Also, do you have medical evidence of your injury?

I suggest you delete the attachment with the medical report as
you've left a lot of personal information in there (you need to
send it to the council but you don't need to post it on here).
Anyway, here is a draft representation:
[indent]
Dear London Borough of Bexley,
I challenge liability for PCN XL19984412 on the grounds that the
alleged contravention did not occur. At the time of the alleged
contravention, I was engaged in unloading, specifically I was
delivering a heavy package to the post office as I was sending a
10 kilogram training vest to my son. I have also recently
injured my foot and as a result I cannot walk very fast or very
far, so I had to park reasonably close to the post office.
I attach a copy of the post office receipt, the receipt for the
training vest I was posting to my son, and proof of my medical
injury.
While I appreciate the CEO could not have known any of the above
and he was right to issue the PCN, it is clear that the
contravention alleged did not actually occur, so the penalty
charge must be cancelled.
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]
