And very well done from me ! We don't see this kind of thing very often. Maybe a teeny-weeny bit of the Christmas Spirit has infused the parking department !

Good afternoon,
I sent the Council a PDF of the Blue Badge as per their request and they have cancelled the PCN: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hgC6YSRsaSekRdbz5 (https://photos.app.goo.gl/hgC6YSRsaSekRdbz5)
Thanks, everybody, for your time and input.

I would sent what they ask - you never know they may have their wires crossed and cancel.

And what's with the letter about the BB - your pictures show the BB and clock on the dash so what's going on with this.
This is the sole reason I've come to the forum. I know I was overtime and I presented an argument to the council in the hope that perhaps they'll capitulate, but I don't at all think I'm entitled to an overturning.
But this request for the BB is puzzling.

Waiting restriction applies Mon-Sat 8.00am to 6.30pm. Your BB clock shows arrival time 8.00. PCN time is 13.08, five hours after the time on your BB clock, hence the PCN. So to me, this looks like a pretty straightforward contravention, so I'm puzzled what you are trying to do to refute it. So why do you think you have a case for cancellation of the PCN

What is the exact Google Maps location.

They ask you to repky within 7 days of receipt of this letter - NOT date of letter or date of service. You can truthfully say you did not see it until yesterday....

Just so you know, photos are not required in order to enforce a PCN. It is who an adjudicator believes, you or the CEO who served the PCN on the basis of "the balance of probabilities", so forget the criminal law test of "beyond all reasonable doubt". Of course, most councils now do take photos to support a PCN, and make them available on-line. My view is that you do not have a solid case at all. If you take them to adjudication, with the full PCN in play, it is likely you will lose.
However, I may be wrong so wait and see what the others say.
Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear, but we deal in reality on this forum.

Hello,
On 27th October, I had inadvertently allowed the time on a family member's disabled badge timewheel to lapse whilst parked on a single yellow.
On 23rd November I had made an informal challenge citing that the CEO did not provide evidence of the underlying restricted hours (no photo of the timeplate), so therefore there is no enforceable PCN.
On 1st December, I got an emailed letter signed by NSL on behalf of the Head of Parking Services, asking me to, within seven days, provide a picture of both sides of the disabled badge.
I missed the email and, so far, I have not received an NTO.
I have no qualms with providing the picture as the use case is legitimate, but I feel like they're sidestepping the main issue on their part I was trying to highlight in my challenge.
Should I just go ahead and accede to their request?
