but the CEO told me that anything other than the badge holder being present in the car on arrival was an offense
Totally and utterly, wrong. Wrong, WRONG !!!!

This is wrong on so many levels, if it was just the Parking officer it would have been one thing but the OP received a call from what I guess is the council and they seemed to have no clue.

I would raise this as a formal complaint to the council once they come to their senses.

As you may recall i said i would deal with this for you, it seems there is a queue. CP is top notch and you will be very well served by him

Really all you have to do is communicate with him so he has all the info he will need, sit back and wait for the win. ( i have never been more sure of a win in the 000s of cases i have helped with)

As it happens, on top of the angry call from whoever it was, the officer actually radioed someone for advice while I was stood there. I couldn't hear the other side but after explaining the situation he said something along the effect of "Yes, I agree. I'll do that."

Ahhh! I replied to your greatly appreciated comment a few days ago with the NTO, I was in such a spin processing everything that I was reading, I didn't even clock that the response had come from a different username ;D Thank you for the vote of confidence with CP and for the reassurance! I was so convinced that I had no hope with all of this, the officer was so adamant that what I was doing was wrong either way I felt there was no way out. Being autistic myself I can get overly stressed about the silliest little things, I hate it but I can't help it. It was *literally* all I thought about for weeks. You are all wonderful people and will never know how much this means to me.

Why would it ever be wrong to park to collect someone? The advisory leaflet is very open ended about it, presumably OF COURSE because there is so much variation when you are caring for people with complex needs. I am kicking myself for answering that call (I thought it might have been his school) and even more so for turning back around to entertain that bullying officer instead of just waiting for my family as planned. Rant over!

Given what a HC CEO gave my relative a PCN for, when parking with a BB, I'm not surprised at all.

Turbulent, cp will guide you well. Please don't get stressed with it, go with the process and give them everything they deserve. Not just for you, but for every BB holder in the county.

Send the representations online and keep a screenshot of the confirmation page. If for some reason the representation won't fit because of a character limit, put it in a PDF document and upload it as an attachment and in the text box write "see attached representation".

I have at last gathered my composure and was ready to submit all of this but there doesn't seem to be any way to do so online; the only option listed on the letter is by post. I have looked through the Herefordshire Council website and all the documentation and I can't seem to find anything. Would it be okay to print this, write "See attached representation" in the rather small text box on the NTO and post it off or is it much better to do this online somehow?

Try here:

Ah yes unfortunately this only seems to allow me to lodge the informal appeal for the PCN rather than formal appeal for the NTO

If you press enough buttons you should end up at this page. The second option claims to allow a formal challenge.

Good luck

Ah amazing, thank you so much I failed miserably to find this! They never make these things easy.

It is done, submitted. My heart is pounding (confrontation is not my strong point) but keen to see what happens here. They claim a reply within 15 working days so fingers crossed.
