Can anyone help with this please as I would like to do an informal appeal.
Was on holiday and visiting for the first time an unfamiliar town. I parked on double yellows and displayed a valid blue badge as I thought, correctly. I wasn’t well and urgently needed toilet ( disability related, plus gastro) Daughter got out my wheelchair and rushed me off to find one.
Came back to car after about 30 minutes to find PNC. Extremely puzzled as to why.
Came home yesterday and checked council website to see that part of my badge was covered by a small parking receipt obtained the day before where payment was required and I popped it in there for safe keeping and in my rush to leave the car, forgot to remove it.
The contravention is a Code 1. Is this first of all correct? Is there not a Code for not displaying blue badge correctly. Another question, the site of the contravention just says Street name. No address or postcode nor where on the street it occurred. The street/ road was very long.
Do I have grounds to appeal at all?
