Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / PCN with Blue badge
« on: April 06, 2026, 05:19:35 pm »
Hello, I am hoping for some advice on a council PCN I received today.
The facts:
I am a support worker employed by a care company
I was driving a company vehicle registered to my employer at the time
I was actively supporting a disabled client on their first visit with me
The client holds a valid blue badge issued by Vale of Glamorgan Council, valid from 01/12/2024, expiry 30/11/2027
I placed the badge on the dashboard but, being unfamiliar with this client's badge, did not display it in the fully prescribed manner
This was an honest and unintentional error — I was not attempting to park without authorisation
PCN details:
PCN Number: VG33556226
Contravention: Code 40 — Parked in designated disabled bay without clearly displaying a valid blue badge
Date: 06/04/2026, Time: 15:09
Location: Paget Road, Barry
Vehicle: SB55RVZ (Vauxhall, Silver, company car)
Issued by: Vale of Glamorgan Council / administered by WPPP
Penalty: £70 (reduced to £35 if paid within 14 days, i.e. by 20/04/2026)
Stage of case:
This is the very beginning — the PCN was issued today. I have not yet submitted any challenge or paid anything.
