Hello All,
I was unloading a cabinet that I sold to a friend on 23rd Sept between 07:20 and 07:40 hours and received a PCN 16. This was the most convenient time for both of us, he works shifts and I work during the day. The street where he lives has some boxed disabled parking bays with signs and there are some residential parking parking zones with signs. However, where I parked the white lines looked to have faded and the sign across the road was obstructed. I was parked in between the two street light lamp posts that have the residential parking notice and the house I was visiting for the drop off was in between the lamp posts. My friend mentioned to me that parts of the street were for residents and in any case he had a permit which I affixed next to the tax disc - not realising that the permit had expired.
I am looking at challenging the the PCN on the following grounds:
1] Unloading heavy item - there are no signs or markings on pavement on unloading.
2] Lines where I parked were faded.
3] Sign across the road was obstructed.
What are your thoughts on the above, I've attached the PCN, Photos of the signs and faded lines.
Thanks.
