Hi Guy's Was hoping someone could give a little advice. My Partner and i took my disabled grandmother food shopping and were dropping her home. (She lives on a busy main road (main bus route) which recently has had CCTV and double yellow lines put outside her house and the nearby shops.) My grandmother cannot walk unaided and therefore when i pick her up or drop her off i usually park outside her house and mount the kerb (two wheels). This is for two reasons, the first because this is the closest point to her front door and secondly, due to it being a busy bus route i do not want to obstruct the traffic and buses as this would be unsafe. I should also add that everyone on this road parks their cars on the pavement everyday and have been doing so for over 30 years. We received the PCN through the post and my wife appealed attaching my grandmothers disabled badge and a proof of address in the form of a utility bill. The appeal was rejected and we were given the option of a further appeal to an independent adjudicator which my wife did again as she is the registered owner of the vehicle. We received a letter on 19th March stating that our appeal would be heard on Monday 14th April and that any additional evidence should be received by Tuesday 8th April. Today we received a 25 page double sided document from the council stating their case which included pictures and the Legal Acts we had broken. They also stated that what my wife said was not as it seems. The letter also included a DVD of the incident. My wife in her letter stated that the reason we parked on the kerb is because of my grandmothers disability and that she requires a wheelchair and that because she is pregnant she could not unload the wheelchair etc. The fact is that my wife had confused this with another time we took my nan shopping (as i said we have parked here many times before with no problem). The DVD does not show me escorting my nan to her house (she can walk short distances aided hence the reason for parking so close to her house) or unloading the bulk of the shopping. It just shows me getting the last of the shopping from the rear seats of the car. Also in the 25 page letter they state that the fine is £110?! Is this right? we appealed well within the two weeks! My understanding was that if you are appealing the fine stays at the reduced £50? What should i do now? Should i write to the adjudicator explaining what i have above and ask for the council to provide the full video evidence? I have time to compile something this weekend so some help would be greatly appreciated.
