Free Traffic Legal Advice

Good morning all,
 
Last month my dad recieved two parking charge tickets from UKPC under the grounds that the vehicle was parked on a disabled parking bay without a disabled badge on display. This happened on two seperate occasions and my dad who is a disabled badge holder insists that he displayed the badge correctly beforehand but it slipped. He later realised that the dashboard was damaged which was causing the badge to slip from its position.

He appealed to UKPC as the registered keeper and received a response from UKPC requesting to see a valid disabled badge. I'm uncertain however if this would jeopardise the appeal since he appealed as the registered keeper and not driver. Perhaps I'm being too cautious but I would appreciate any input. Attached are the PCNs, appeal and response from UKPC.

The appeal said "The driver of the vehicle at the time of the alleged contravention is a Blue Badge holder". They could try providing it with the name obscured.

Whether the Keeper is the blue badge holder does not matter. Anyone could be driving

My point was that in their appeal, which they have already submitted, the keeper (who is the owner of the blue badge) has already said that the owner of the blue badge was driving.

I agree that trying ASDA would be a wise first port of call.

Another point, in your opening post, you mention two parking charges, but refer to only one appeal. Each charge must be appealed separately.

The same appeal was submitted for the both the charges, and UKPC sent the same response for both. For some reason this particular Asda store said they can't give the store manager's email and can only speak in person which in of itself is difficult also.
