PCN Code 01 - Blue Badge Parking

[Arwen12]

Hi,

 

I parked my car in a pedestrian street that allows blue badge parking

but received a PCN for being “parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours’.

 

I contacted the council to make an informal appeal but they’ve just replied saying the PCN is valid as I’d been parked for more than 3 hours.

 

I wasn’t aware blue badge holders can park in no waiting areas (I thought they were treated the same as no stopping areas)

so I only parked there because there was a blue badge sign.

 

 

I thought this overruled the no waiting sign and meant I could park for as long as I liked as there were no yellow lines on the road

or anything else to indicate any restrictions.

 

Here is a photo of my car and the sign.

 

Any help appealing against the PCN would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.[ATTACH=CONFIG]55349[/ATTACH]

The entry sign clearly states no waiting 'At any time', so anywhere within the pedestrian zone is as if there were DYL's.

 

The sign allows BB holders, but because of the no waiting at any time restriction, BB holders can only park for 3 hrs which you exceeded.

 

Having made an informal appeal and been rejected, I can't see any other grounds, so your best option is to pay the discounted penalty.
