Hi there, checked pcn and it says 02 parked or loading in a restricted street where waiting and loading/unloading restrictions are in force. So no hope there I guess. Do you think I should still appeal on the grounds for reason why we stopped? I am expecting that I will be the one to pay all of this amount and I myself receive dla so will find this very hard. I dare not ask my friend as she may well say that she cannot afford even though it was partly her fault.. Thanks for the info about the handbook, but I actually think my friend has one as she showed me something, where it says that she could park on a yellow line. I will never trust her opinion again with her badge. In fact I wont be giving her a lift anywhere anytime soon, as we were in that area for her anyway!! Hey, has anyone got any ideas of how I should approach council in my appeal please ? I have taken on board all the previous advice and feel that if I write to them and ask them to maybe cancel ticket for reasons suggested above : BB 1st contravention or the reason why we parked which was a medical reason or any other way to approach??? Really appreciate the help. Thanks

Hi there. Yes I have looked up the rules and you are right. I am unfortunately am not the disabled badge holder, but I am a driver who should have noted that the sign said no parking or loading. Despite the above, Do you think that there are any grounds to appeal on other than the reason for parking there? I am really stressed about it and really did not mean to just park there and break any rules.

Ok will do reps. Just asking, Do they have to put the BB info on the ticket? They did not do this. I understand that the BB may be dismissed completely as they did not take any pictures of the BB on the dash board?

Hi yes I received the notice to owner yesterday (fri 26th oct) it has now increased to £110. On the ticket there was no mention of a disabled badge being used at all, so it does appear that we just ignored parking rules all together , when this really was not the case. Longmead road oppsite entrance to the tooting market but on the other side of the road. Hope that makes some sort of sense. Thanks

Ok will do. I have a few pictures and the letter from council. I will remove my personal details and upload as quick as I can. Not too clued about pdf conversion so will get my young son to do it for me first thing. I did not appeal at all, I was a bit silly and took the advice from the the traffic warden (who could have been ticket issuer) and advice from friends sister. Disabled friend was in car with me and was witness to what traffic warden said. The area was tooting, at beginning of longmead road, near the primark store, sw17 .

Hi there Forum, can anyone give me advice at all please. Received a pcn with a disabled badge displayed on yellow line with restrictions - no loading 7am - 7pm / no parking - blue and red circle sign 7am -7pm. The disabled person said it was ok to park using her badge, I don't have a clue about the rules for badges. Parked there after 3pm, was around 20 -25 mins and came back to see ticket. Started to examine where I had gone wrong. Could see the yellow line where I parked and another yellow line which was prevoiusly there making it a double yellow but it had been rubbed/removed out with paint making it a single. The short yellow lines that are on pavement edges was worn away, some not even visable and also the sign stating the above restriction. Disabled friend insisted we could have parked there. Saw a traffic warden walking a road away and asked him, he said that ticket was wrong and would be invalid, not too worry about it. Still unsure we asked her sister (who is traffic warden) forwarded pitcures I took of area, she too said it was invalid. Got a increased ticket yesterday so it was not cancelled! We had a valid reason why we stopped and parked up and really believed car could be parked there. Please help with any feedback
