Hi ericsbrother, Thanks for the clarification. So, I`ll just sit and wait to see what happens. I may or may not be back

Hi armadillo71, Thanks for the response. So, what is NTK to be exact, and what if something DOES come through. I`ve just had a quick look at those links but who will that affect us as we have a ticket for not showing a blue badge, which was on the floor? Thanks again Do I also understand they are not authorised to issue tickets?

Hi there, A few days or so ago I received a £60 parking charge while parked at the Metro Centre, Gateshead. The charge will be reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days. The ticket was received due to parking in a disabled bay apparently with no blue badge visible. My girlfriend is actually registered disabled due to arthritis and has a blue badge which we always use and we visit the Metro Centre approximately 4 or 5 days a week. On this occasion our 5 week old baby was restless and we quickly parked up in order to see to her needs inside. I`m not sure if I left out the badge or not, but when we returned back to the car we had a parking ticket, but the badge was on the floor, again not sure if I left it out on a hurry and it fell off the dash or not. As previously mentioned, the ticket was for £60 or reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days. Having looked on their website the pictures do show our car although I must admit the quality of the images are really crap. They have a pic of the signage which again is crap, blurred and pixalated. As most of you will probably know, the car park is owned by Metro Centre and offers free parking. I would like to challenge this so I would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.
