Hi

Hopefully someone can provide some advice. I am trying to draft a letter to the council regarding a recent parking fine which was left on my car whilst parked on my road.

Background:
I live at the end of a cul-de-sac. Neighbours/relatives have been half parking on the pavement and one side of the road and on the sides of the cul-de-sac for years (this allows emergency vehicles to enter the road as it would otherwise be too narrow if we parked on the road. Council have never had issues with this and there are no yellow lines.

We have recently had a new neighbour move in who has a house on the side of the cul-de-sac and a curved wall dividing the driveway from the pathway (see photo below). He has a shared driveway with dropped curb which he refuses to use and has instead broken the wall down, claimed the adjacent footway to his driveway and told other neighbours they are no longer allowed to park there. He wants to use the footway for access to his driveway (not a dropped curb).

Cars continue to park there and he asks them to move. He has more recently called the police who basically weren't impressed with him for wasting their time.
He has now resorted to contacting the council and alleges that my car is obstructing his "driveway".

Someone came today and slapped a ticket on my car. He was confronted by my neighbour and just shrugged his shoulders and said it wasn't up to him to decide whether it was a driveway or not. This clearly isn't a driveway and by the council's rationale, every car half-parked on the raised curb road would need a ticket.

I am pretty stumped on how to approach this and would like to word a powerful letter to the council but feel I like the skills. Any help would be gratefully received.

section 1
I believe the contravention did not take place as it was given under the false grounds of parking over a dropped kerb Mr Rene Perez from the Hounslow Council visited the site and agreed that this ticket should not have been issued by the council.

Section 3
evidence details you are more than welcome to contact Mr Rene Perez from the Hounslow councils he will verify my statement I find it appalling that you are giving tickets without proper cause
Furthermore I find it appalling that I had to call Hounslow Highway to correct your mistake.


EDIT: Just received an email, they replied again to the PCN challenge (which they initially rejected). They seem to have made a U-turn and have now dropped the case with apologies. https://ibb.co/N7g8kZK

Thanks for all your support through this hassle, it is and always will be very much appreciated.
