I know that in South Wales you can get a temporary blue badge as long as the criteria is met. I assume that where the OP resides that may not be the case.
I have checked and they're not. By the time I would have received it I would probably be fit enough again anyway. Its a huge oversight on the NHS. For about 2 months I was far more unable to move than a lot of people with blue badges, you would think there was a temporary scheme to fill that gap.

Unless you have it in writing, I suspect we will see you back once it is too late to appeal and you have started receiving useless debt recovery letters.
Plan A is always the easiest but you need to het it in writing. A phone call is not worth the paper it is not written on.
Ive been CC'd into the email they sent to cancellations. That should be enough right? Surely anything that escalated in the future would be moot if the owner of the land has cleared it by email?

Edit- Just spoke to the Mcdonalds and they have agreed to cancel it, never mind, that was a quick outcome ;D Please delete as you wish.
Thanks.

Just recieved this.
Bit of history.
I had knee surgery at the end of May with a long recovery. Unfortunately despite being far more immobile than a lot of those that are eligible for a blue badge I am not able to get one as they arent given for transient or temporary disabiliy.
I generally use the disabled bays in shops and non council areas all the time as I have been given express permission by many of them who can clearly see I cannot walk far and need to room to fully open the door.
I sought permission from the Mc donalds in question if I could use it briefly and was told it was fine.
However I have received a Parking charge notice today for contravening the blue badge notice.
My first POC will be to phone McDonalds to get it cancelled, by Im not sure this will work.
I am sort of familiar with the protocol these days but not entirely.
should I appeal? The appeal on their site requires me to name the driver and details etc but I understand this is not good practice?
I have plenty if letters showing my condition and operation etc.
I have attached a picture of the PCN.
Thanks.
