Hey @Incandescent,

I did check for street parking, but there were no bays available. The only other place I could have parked in was at a supermarket, but 1) it's further away and 2) I wouldn't be a customer. I hope I understood your question right

From your narrative I think you are entitled to the "assisted boarding" exemption. Can you please outline what you did on arriving with your car through to your mother being in the car ready for you to drive off.

Hello there,

I received a PCN for parking in a loading bay in the evening. I was picking up my mother as she was visiting her friend in a nearby apartment (area is notorious for limited parking). She has arthritis and finds it difficult walking short distances. She does possess a blue badge, but I did not have it on me at the time.

This is the link to PCN (https://imgpile.com/p/8CILsfs).

For reference, this is the Google Street View link (https://maps.app.goo.gl/sH4FeYYRzt6NtRdDA).

Is there a case for appeal? Would appreciate any sort of advice on this matter.

Thank you
