With Motability you don't get the original log book, just vehicle information that's held by DVLA.

@zexx
Apologies for an off topic question, is this info a scan from a paper document or from a web site?
I've been trying to find a way to check the taxation class info for vehicles in the past and to date have never found the info available anywhere online so if this is from a web site do you have a link to it please?

That's why I was wondering how they are letting you park in the disabled bay.

I think you need to display your BB - you can't assume that tomorrow they won't ticket and even tow your car to the pound (sorry to be alarmist but this council does this).

Whatever, you won't be paying this PCN.

OP, can we get back to your issue please.

A PCN for '.....permit'.

Their reply shows you parked in a marked and signed Disabled Bay.

That's it, IMO.

Obviously you will deal with your permit in parallel  but NEITHER YOU NOR ANY OTHER MOTORIST requires a 'permit' to park in a Disabled Bay, simply a valid BB displayed in the prescribed manner.

As for now, wait for the NTO - you are the registered keeper with current DVLA details, yes?

+1 to the BB.

As for follow-up, it's worth a go. But the stupidity, obstinacy and systemic ignorance of the authority would probably prevail!

Dear ****** *****,

Traffic Management Act 2004
Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) Number: FR66840203
Vehicle Registration Number: E20OMG
Contravention Date and Time: 20/10/2025 at 17:43
Contravention Location: ***** *** **
PCN Code and Description: 19z Parked in a residents or shared use parking place or
zone with an invalid virtual permit or displaying an invalid physical permit or voucher
or pay and display ticket, or after the expiry of paid for time (out of date permit)

Thank you for your correspondence in regards to the PCN as mentioned above.

I must advise that it is the motorists responsibility to ensure that they display their Disabled
Blue Badge correctly at all times.

When your informal representation was rejected, our letter advised you how to make an
appeal to the independent adjudicator if you wanted to take the matter further. This can only
happen after the registered keeper of the vehicle receives the Notice to Owner (NtO). At that
stage the charge will be at the full amount of £110.00

You have now written again to the council and I regret that we cannot deal with further
correspondence at this stage. The Traffic Management Act 2004 lays down firm procedures
for processing parking penalties and if you wish to take the matter further you will need to
wait for the NtO which will be sent to you shortly if you are the registered keeper.

New data protection laws apply from 25 May 2018. To find out why the Council needs to

Equalities Act 2010 - should you have a disability and require a reasonable adjustment to
complete either making a payment or a challenge against a PCN, please email

Yours sincerely

The contravention did not occur.

I was parked in a disabled bay, as your pictures show.

The alleged contravention concerns parking in a residents or shared use bay. This plainly did not occur.

As the PCN was issued in error it must be cancelled.

I look forward to your early confirmation.
