PCN 46 Lee High Road, Stopped for a few seconds Options

[icantbelieveit]

I stopped outside 169-177 Lee High Road.
It is a Red route but there is a red box and on the one sign for this box which is approximately 6 car lengths long.
As soon as i stopped one of the shop owners came out and told me that I could not park there. He pointed me to the sign which said parking only between 10am-4pm.
However he did also point me towards the camera and said it was too late.
I drove of having been parked for less than a minute.
Have I any justification to appeal this notice?

I was trying to appeal this PCN online. Eventually I got this notice on the website.

The 13th is the date of the PCN sent to me.
The 21st is the date of the letter that came with the disk of the recording.

Does anyone know why it would have been placed on hold on the 04/07

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they give an amount of time for you to receive and view the footage, not sure how long that is.

It is still showing as on hold and "further information requested" on the TFL website. The letter that got sent with the DVD does not indicate any time length or why it would still be on hold.
It says on the PCN that if I request a recording, the PCN will be placed on hold whilst this is processed. The recording letter is dated the 21/06.

Thanks for all who helped on this one. I have received a letter saying the PCN is cancelled. I have not read it myself as I'm not at home but I'm told it does warn me that next time I will have to pay.

Thanks again
