Before getting bogged down in a formal appeal process with the parking operator I suggest you email Sainsburys. Be sure to include a copy of the blue badge

Agreed - anecdotally, supermarkets are often quite good at intervening on behalf of their customers. Their contracts with car park operators generally have more scope for such cancellations (after all, if you're potentially providing a car park management contract for several hundred car parks, you have rather more negotiating power).

What should I say to the Sainsburys executives email?

You haven't actually told us what happened.  Did you forget to display your blue badge or did you display it but the parking attendant didn't see it?  Either way Sainsbury's should cancel it - but we can't advise you what to write until you tell us what happened.

The driver forgot to display the badge and did not see the ticket till they got home, because as far as they remember that bay did not have a sign up because the pole was short not long like others and they saw there are about 2/3 bays on each row like that same with children’s bays.
That is what they found out after they visited the store next visit

How about something along the following lines?


I am a loyal Sainsury's customer and the holder of a disabled motorist's blue badge. When I shop at Sainsbury's I endeavour to display the blue badge in whichever car I travel in.  However, following a visit on [date] I received a PCN from your parking contractor for my car being parking in a disabled space without displaying my blue badge. It seems, therefore, that I might have forgotten to display the blue badge.  I have attached a copy of the blue badge so you can see that my car was entitled to park in a disabled space and that no disabled person was wrongly deprived of use of the space.  I shall be grateful if you will instruct your parking contractor to cancel the PCN.  The details are as follows:

Parking Contactor: Euro Car Parks
PCN number:
Vehicle number:

Best regards,

NAME



You haven't told us whether you actually bought anything in the store - but if you did, and have the receipt or other proof of purchase such as an entry on a bank statement, you could throw that in the mix.

Just to confirm, should I write the letter as the registered keeper or should the driver write it ?

You write it as yourself. There is no need to specify a particular capacity in which you write. This is an email to Sainsbury’s from a customer. Not an appeal to a parking operator from a driver or a keeper.

Hi all,
Got a reply from Sainsbury’s and said they will look at it and get back and today just got an email confirmation to say they have cancelled the ticket.

Thanks to you all for your advice really appreciate it.

Thanks

Plan A works again. With a supermarket, hospital or medical practice PCN always ask the landowner to cancel the ticket before wasting time and effort with an appeal to the parking operator
