Sorry, but we need to see the PCN and also look at a GSV view to see what is there, assuming GSV is sufficiently up-to-date.
As I understand it, a BB doesn't guarantee free parking no matter where you park.

Title: Manchester Council PCN - EV charger with disabled badge displayed
Post by: Cohlas on June 26, 2026, 04:11:52 pm

Hi all - firstly many thanks for your help over the years - have won many private PCNs and one council PCN where they were doing works and signage was poor.

Now on Angel street manchester, where there are 2 e chargers in 2 of the bays, Ive displayed a disabled badge while charging (as ive done many times before).

Ive come back to a PCN, my worry is that the badge may have expired - however i dont display the full details - so its usually fine. Im assuming the warden hasn't seen it perhaps? as its always been fine before. I know council ones are more difficult to contend. Advice please.

Its a joke that an already expensive EV charger (which states free on the BEV app) requires car park charges too.
