Due to Covid the number of PCNs being decided at the independent adjudicators remains depressed. In addition, probably thanks to there being more moving traffic cameras around the borough of Barnet the success rate of motorists has diminished as the cctv evidence is usually conclusive.
In March there were 72 PCNs in front of adjudicators and only 23, a mere 32%, were cancelled.
Two cases were a little out of the ordinary and both concerned the health of individuals about which it appears that Barnet Council doesn't care about at all, with revenue raising being more important.

The law does not allow the adjudicator to cancel on grounds of mitigation and so his hands were tied.

The trouble with a traffic warden giving you verbal permission is twofold; 1. it isn't written down and 2. a different traffic warden gives you the PCN.
Best to stay off the footway unless there are marked bays or signs which permit it.
