Good evening,
The following is my reply to the school request

With regards to school putting my car on exempt list, they have never mentioned an exempt list existed to me even though I raised this issue in one of the meetings in the past.

Thank you for your reply and guidance

-I wrote the following and just changed the facts for the second PCN,

On 26th February, I was specifically asked by my son’s school to accompany him on a school trip due to his additional needs and recent episodes of dysregulation. He is a blue badge holder. I have provided a copy of the school’s email request as evidence. Normally, my son goes to school by a transport provided by Barking and Dagenham Council. However, I am not permitted to travel with him on this transport so the only way I could comply with the school’s request was to drive him myself.
In the notice of rejection, Barking and Dagenham stated that “Blue Badge holders or those carrying a Blue Badge holder as a passenger are not permitted to drive in this area during the hours of operation.” However, upon reviewing the School Street policies on the Barking and Dagenham Council website, I discovered that Blue Badge holders can, in fact, apply for an exemption under Exemption Four – Blue Badge Holders. This exemption allows access to the school for drop-off or collection during operational hours, provided an application is made (as outlined at https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/school- streets/school-street-exemptions and in the Exemption Policy document at https://www.lbbd.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2023- 08/10082023_Exemption%20Policy%20update_website.pdf).
When the restrictions were first introduced, I emailed the council my concerns. I didn’t know there were exemptions and at the time of the incident, I was unaware that such an exemption needed to be formally applied for in advance. I have ended up with 2 PCN as a result. I deeply regret this oversight and have since submitted an application for the exemption, which is currently awaiting a decision from the council. I do not normally drive to the school—Barking and Dagenham provide transport for my son—but on this occasion, it was unavoidable due to the nature of the event and his specific needs.

-I also attached a copy of the exemption approval email.

Thank you 🙏

Good morning
Yes I did reply to confirm that I will accompany my child. Do you think I should include my reply to the tribunal?

Also, I have found an email about the meeting on the 13th Feb. The meeting was at 4.10pm. I had asked for a report of the assessment and the school mentioned that they will discuss in the meeting.
Is it worth sending this email to tribunal?

Thank you

Hi John
I have had a look at the map. I think the access point I gave you previously was wrong. This is the right one

I came from a road called Heathway and turned left into Alibon Road.

I will drive to the area tomorrow and take pictures. I will send you the pictures and the tribunal letter together.

I have also just received an email from the exemption team requesting proof that my child attends Hunters Hall primary School.

Thank you again
