The PCN puts you on a loading restriction - as you know you can't use your blue badge there.

But post a street level Maps link not an overhead.

You've blanked the PCN details so we can't check the council's evidence if they've got any showing.

Havering does not reoffer the discount on rejection.

I think you were in a taxi only part of the High Street...

Havering may put the pics up now you've tried to access them but if they don't ask for them.

Without looking at what they have we can't do much other than advise paying the discount to avoid the full penalty.

They may put the pics up or ask for them.

This view suggests you were on double yellow on the right?

Your VRM is available 24/7 when your car is on the highway, therefore there's no purpose in withholding it here.

As for the PCN number, this doesn't identify you.

We need both to check their website.

As regards parking legislation, the issue boils down to whether you were parked within the scope of waiting and no loading prohibitions. We need photos. If the website cannot assist, then you'll have to arrange to take some yourself I'm afraid.

As regards: I wasn't aware of the loading restriction but looking on my dashcam footage there seems to be some tiny 'No Loading' Signs that as a disabled driver it would be dangerous for me to avert my eyes to see.

As you know, a driver's obligation is to observe markings and signs, in this case you can park, look and, if restricted, move off without being in contravention: it's not done in real time from the driver's seat.

It wasn't a No Stopping prohibition, it was No Waiting and No Loading.

In both cases these are standard signs with which any BB holder should be familiar.

First, thank you for the time the experts here spend guiding me on this. Something has come to my mind that may 'indirectly' give grounds for a challenge and i would be grateful for some thoughts.

On the rear of a LBH parking ticket is a statement in bold lettering informing that We Cannot accept verbal challenges in person or on the telephone being quite insistent a disabled person cannot make an oral representation.

However, in The LBH Discretion Policy for the Enforcement and Cancellation
Penalty Charge Notice [Appendix A]

https://www.havering.gov.uk/downloads/file/96/policy_for_enforcing_or_cancelling_a_pcn

It is stated that any disabled person with inability to provide written evidence may make an oral representation.

So which is true - The Bold, insistent type on the PCN or the section in small fainter type on the link you have to log onto and study until the end to read ? Is there here a conflict that creates a challenge ?

I'm  not sure I fully understand your procedural impropriety angle but don't doubt it. I'm not great at reading through and remembering text as I read it.

I'm not sure but I think that if the council still publishes a policy despite it's original date they still count it as so [I seem to remember something about that in the document]. With reference to Appendix A have they used the case as a reference to the equality act and how the council should treat drivers with the relevant disabilities ?  [I hope that makes sense]
