Hackney (Code 40), Parked without displaying disabled person's badge in prescribed manner, Hillman Street
« on: November 06, 2024, 06:56:30 pm »
Hey all,

On 4th November, outside Hackney Service Centre on Hillman Street, I received a PCN for parking in a disabled bay without displaying a disabled person’s badge in the prescribed manner.
I did display the blue badge but not the clock.

I go for an appointment there every 1-2 weeks but I don’t remember noticing the time restriction or displaying my clock before. I've probably just been lucky not to get fined until now as I’ve checked on Google Maps Street View and the time restrictions are clearly displayed.

I suspect I’ll have to pay; however, I thought I’d better check here first! Can anyone see a way to challenge this before I make the payment?
I have just noticed the PCN hasn't been signed by the Civil Enforcement Officer, if that helps..?

Many thanks for your time and advice.

The clock is only required for yellow lines.

You could send in the informal representation.

Dear London Borough of Hackney,

I have parked on a disabled bay and I have displayed my valid Blue Badge which is clearly displayed from the windscreen as shown in CEO's photographs.

No contravention have occured and the PCN must be cancelled.

Regards

We've had a number of battles with councils on using the clock in a time-limited bay. Point is bays for general parking don't require a clock.

This is a 3 hour bay - when did you park and leave? PCN time is 16:30.

So don't pay - one of us will dig out cases on this.

Thank you both, seems like it's pretty disgraceful targeting of 'easy targets' from councils.  >:( It's great to hear I have a chance at appeal though!

I arrived 14:55 and left about 16:40/16:45, well within the 3 hour time restriction.

The cases would be helpful, so I'll wait for those before drafting up my representation.

Thanks again. :)
