Why not reference the order and point out that there isn't a requirement to display a clock, therefore the only issue is whether the vehicle was parked for more than 4 hours which the OP will assert was not the case, indeed they were only parked from ** to **?

Two reasons:

1) The council won't understand the point, it's not as if they actually look at a traffic order when considering representations, and
2) There is no issue of how long the vehicle was there for, even if the OP had parked for more than 4 hours the contravention alleged on the PCN would not have occurred regardless. An overstaying BB holder could be issued with code 30 - Parked for longer than permitted.

Well this is going to be really easy as The Leeds City Council (Traffic Regulation) (Waiting Restrictions) (No.W01) Order 2021 only references parking discs (aka clocks) in respect of waiting restrictions, not designated parking bays.

Dear Leeds City Council,

The alleged contravention did not occur and it is quite clear the PCN has been issued in error. The CEO's own photos show that a blue badge was clearly displayed on the dashboard in the prescribed position, and there is no evidence I exceeded the four hour time limit.

For the record, I only parked in this bay for around 30 minutes.

The PCN must now be cancelled as the alleged contravention is not made out.

Yours faithfully,


@boxer29 send the representation online and please make sure to keep a screenshot of the confirmation page.
Thanks CP8759,
Will do representation online and take a screen shot.

@CP 8759,
While trying to add my representations i found this on the page which is a bit confusing. i have put those points in italics for you to have a look. what is your advice when it says that i have to put the blue badge clock on display as well.

I had a Blue Badge
When you use a Blue Badge, you must clearly display it in the vehicle. The blue parking disc (clock) must be set to your arrival time. If the badge is not displayed or the clock is incorrectly set, this is a contravention.

In line with our appeals policy, we can only accept an appeal if all of these are true:

The Blue Badge was on display, but was facing down or was otherwise unreadable
The Blue Badge clock was on display (when required)
The Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) did not say that the incorrectly displayed badge was invalid
The vehicle was otherwise parked within the terms of the Blue Badge scheme
If you meet the criteria above please select 'Continue' to start the appeal. We will take you through providing the evidence we need to allow us to cancel the PCN.
