Good morning
The council have stated that I parked within 10 meters of a junction hence why they issued the ticket, the issue is they have .
1. Not issued a ticket for this offence, but for parking on a double yellow lines
2. Have not informed me the name of the junction I allegedly parked within 10 meters of.
3. If this is the case though they are setting a dangerous precedent for this as most of Tenterden high street has a junction of some form within 10 meters. It appears they will penalise all blue badge holders doing so.
So this appears to be making a target of any blue badge holders parking on double yellow lines anywhere within the areas covered by Ashford borough council.
Church lane is opposite where I was if you measure at an angle but I would say it was more than 10 meters away, but as stated they have not informed what junction they are claiming I parked near.
Also please read the following
A Blue Badge was in the relevant position while parked on a length of double yellow lines in Tenterden. , When your CEO issued the PCN they referred to being within 10m of a junction. This is worrying because as a matter of law they were incorrect i.e. Rule 243 of the Highway Code states 'DO NOT stop...opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking space.'
As the section of the Code which refers to wording makes absolutely clear, references within the Code described as DO NOT are purely advisory, the actual wording being:
Wording of The Highway Code
Many of the rules in the Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/MUST NOT’. In addition, the rule includes an abbreviated reference to the legislation which creates the offence. See an explanation of the abbreviations.
Although failure to comply with the other rules of the Code will not, in itself, cause a person to be prosecuted, The Highway Code may be used in evidence in any court proceedings under the Traffic Acts (see The road user and the law) to establish liability. This includes rules which use advisory wording such as ‘should/should not’ or ‘do/do not’.
It therefore follows that the contravention did not occur and the PCN must be cancelled.
They should not make veiled threats towards me whilst stating it’s a goodwill cancellation, but it will not happen again. Again is there any advice as to how to deal with this to stop this harassment of Blue badge holders ?.
Kind regards

Sorry meant was he replying as in working for a council.
Yes they have dropped it as goodwill but that’s not the issue , I was not parked within 10 meters and the ticket was issued for parking on a double yellow line which my badges covered and the warden blatantly lied . I cannot upload my cars footage showing this but I told them I have it and can show it . And they state it’s a goodwill cancelling but I had not broken any laws and have parked at that same location before several times. And wardens have looked at my badge and walked off but this one waited for me to step away from my car for 45 seconds and issued a ticket

This was the response I got from the council
Date 10/02/2026
Location of contravention High Street, Tenterden
I refer to your recent enquiry about Penalty Charge Notice number KF09468772 that
was issued on 10/02/2026 at High Street, Tenterden.
The Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) was issued to you because your vehicle was
parked in a restricted street when it was not permitted to be there, as signified by the
line markings.
You have stated in your correspondence that you believe the PCN had been issued
due to a time discrepancy. The PCN was issued due to the fact your vehicle was
parked within 10 meters of a junction.
The driver should be aware of the “Safe and responsible parking” section under, The
Blue Badge scheme: rights and responsibilities in England, which can be viewed
online. Enforcing the parking rules helps to keep them free of parked vehicles which
improves safety. Vehicles can turn more easily and drivers and pedestrians have a
clearer view of each other. Displaying a blue badge does not exempt you in this
circumstance.
If you require more information about the Blue Badge scheme: rights and
responsibilities in England please follow this link
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-blue-badge-scheme-rights-and-
responsibilities-in-england.
This PCN was correctly issued, however, on this occasion only, I am prepared
to allow your representation as a goodwill gesture. Please note however that
this letter also serves as a warning that future PCNs challenged may not be
cancelled, where similar circumstances apply.
I am pleased to inform you that your representations have been accepted and the
Penalty Charge Notice has been cancelled and the case is now closed

« on: February 11, 2026, 09:51:24 am »I got a PCN code 01 for parking on a double yellow line whilst a temporary parking restriction was in place….not true
I arrived got out of my car after displaying my blue badge and 45 seconds later the warden was taking pictures of my car, I saw him and went over he said i was parked within 10 meters of a junction, not true, none along the road, then he said opposite a junction, yes true but further than 10 meters away and also my front wheels were in a bay which was the councils and opposite the junction along with an ignored car doing the same, he claimed he had observed my car for 2 mins, not true I approached him within 30 seconds and my dash camera also disproves this, after I challenged him he had walked of, before returning and placing the ticket whole event 3 mins…..
So can this be done….
