OP, can we dispense with the 'the driver' references pl.  This is a council matter and so the driver js not liable.

Also, you say that a BB was renewed in 2021 but did not arrive. Another was requested (and the first renewal declared as lost). Subsequently (at an unknown time) one arrived. Apparently this was the renewal(declared lost) and not its replacement.

What time frame are we talking about here i.e. when did the renewal/replacement BB appear? Surely not 2023 because this implies that your grandmother has been without a BB for 2 years. So perhaps you and she have been using a declared lost BB for 2 years without issue? Or what?

It appeared after a week or so of requesting a replacement, so yes we have been using a lost one for the last 2 years with no issues.

Any help would really be appreciated. A bit of context.. Drivers grandmother has a blue badge and has done for many years. It was renewed back in 2021 and the blue badge never got delivered so a new one was requested. One blue badge eventually turned up in the post and we assumed this was the new replacement one, however after finding out today, we believe the blue badge that was received was in fact the original one which had now been reported as lost.
Today the driver of a vehicle parked in a disabled bay in Brighton and displayed his grandmothers disabled badge correctly in the window, as his grandmother was a passenger. The driver took the disabled person (grandmother) out for lunch and also to the Brighton Art Gallery which is where she was getting picked up from by her sister. Once the driver left his grandmother, he was coming back to the car to move it as he is aware that the badge should only be used for dropping/picking up the disabled person.
Grandmother received a call approx 1 hour after parking from the Blue Badge investigation team officer and asked whether she was in Brighton. She declined (she has some issues and gets confused easily, she thought he asked if she was in Brighton the day before) and the officer also said that someone was using a blue badge of hers that had been reported as lost and that he is going to wait by the vehicle.
The driver went back to the vehicle and explained everything. As the grandmother had already left Brighton, the officer could not verify that the badge holder was there and issued the driver with a notice to say that the driver could pay a £40 admin fee and fill out a multiple choice questionnaire online and it be all sorted and nothing goes further, or it could be investigated further with the blue badge team and go to court. The driver refused as he believes he didn't do anything wrong and was told by the officer that he can have a think about it and that he would be contacted within a week or so. The officer also seized the blue badge as it was reported as lost (see info at the top of this paragraph).
There was also a PCN on the car due to the fact that a 'inactive' blue badge was displayed.
My questions are as follows:
Am I in the wrong at all here?
Do I pay the £40 admin fee and fill out the multiple choice form online or do I fight my case here?
How should I appeal the PCN?

Sorry for the confusion, I was dropping my nan off to an appointment. She does need help walking to and from places hence why I was gone. It was for an appointment.

I parked here: https://goo.gl/maps/GpnTUZPK4LsU7T8f8 and displayed my nans disabled badge as I was picking her up.

I understand you cannot park in a loading bay but no where does it say that it is a loading bay. It is just double yellow lines. All it says is 'no loading at any time'.

Do I have grounds to appeal? If so could anyone help? This is th second fine I have had in a month, not having much luck haha!

Thank you!
