Free Traffic Legal Advice

Just recieved this.

Bit of history.

I had knee surgery at the end of May with a long recovery. Unfortunately  despite being far more immobile than a lot of those that are eligible for a blue badge I am not able to get one as they arent given for transient or temporary disabiliy.

I generally use the disabled bays in shops  and non council areas all the time as I have been given express permission by many of them who can clearly see I  cannot walk far  and need to room to fully open the door.

I sought permission from  the  Mc donalds in question if I could use it briefly and was told it was fine.

However I have received  a Parking charge notice today for contravening the blue badge notice.

My first POC will be to phone McDonalds to get it cancelled, by Im not sure this will work.

I am sort of familiar with the protocol these days but not entirely.

should I appeal? The appeal on their site requires me to name the driver  and details etc but I understand this is not good practice?

I have plenty if letters showing my condition and operation  etc.


I have attached a picture of the PCN.

Thanks.

Unless you have it in writing, I suspect we will see you back once it is too late to appeal and you have started receiving useless debt recovery letters.

Plan A is always the easiest but you need to het it in writing. A phone call is not worth the paper it is not written on.

I know that in South Wales you can get a temporary blue badge as long as the criteria is met. I assume that where the OP resides that may not be the case.
