Annoying but asking for discretion is all you have assuming the PCN details are correct.

Thank you for the reply Incandescent

Great, now I know what it means ;D

Yeah I know it's always worth writting reps.
I'll get him to write one out just as you said and see what the councils reply is then report back.

Kind regards.

Off-carriageway parking has been banned in London since the 70s and requires no lines or signs.In addition, there is no exemption for Blue Badges.

The 'opp lp203' means "opposite lamp post 203".

I suggest you don't just join the Mugged CLub straightaway, but submit reps on the lines you have told us, emphasising the BB holder was being conveyed to her residence and cannot walk any distance, hence the BB, but there was a large skip blocking the other side of the road, so to allow traffic to pass the driver parked partially off-carriageway. Don't be confrontational, just apologise for this error by a driver who has only recently passed his test. It may well not succeed, but at least makes them do some work for their money.

Hi Everyone,

My nephew who has recently passed his test got a pcn on Monday morning, he stopped on the footpath to drop off an Auntie who has a blue badge which was not on display. The front of the drive was not clear to park directly outside so he stopped there to get her out and into the house. Which probably took him no more than about 15 mins approx. Unfortunately there is a skip opposite to where he had to park so he parked a bit over to give more room to cars going up the hill.
I know, silly mistake but he is young and knows he was in the wrong.

I have uploaded the pcn and was wondering if there is anything to go on, on this occasion?
Or is it just accept he did a silly mistake and just pay the discount?

I noticed on the pcn that where it has the address it says (opp lp203) it seems to be an incorrect location or is it just me looking at it in the wrong way? I looked on the croydon website pcn and this is not on it on the site.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
