I have received a penalty charge notice from the council for the following “parking contravention", namely: “Stopped on a pedestrian crossing and/or crossing area marked by zig zags Contravention code 99 outside Stoke Station". The photographic evidence is maybe accurate, as their timed evidence is eight seconds from opening the door and driving off with a family member. The picture shows the car at the far side of a crossing at the end of the zig zag zone (one metre inside). Do I pay up or dispute on the grounds that the vehicle did not park - ie switch off the engine or apply the hand brake on this occasion and in total was only 8 seconds?
