@icelandfoods Excel PCN given to me as disabled parking

[JAYGO1111]

Hi I wonder if anyone can help. My wife has mobility disability. I parked at Iceland Hemel Hempstead, on 21 April 1016, in the disabled bay, and badge displayed on front dash. We shopped at Iceland then went home. Subsequently we got a PCN for parking without paying.

 

I appealed to Excel parking, and wrote to Iceland customer services. The latter were unable to help. Today I received a letter stating that the appeal was rejected. I can now pay the fine or appeal to IAS.

 

I am considering appealing as I don't think the signage at Iceland IS ADQUATE.

 

There are two to 3 large signs on entering the car park saying that parking must be within bays etc, and that disabled badges must be displayed, but they do not state that badge holders must pay. There is a smaller sign by the pay machine which does indicate that disabled badge holders must pay.

 

We have not had to pay at any other supermarket and the signs at the entry did not state this, so I did not go near the pay machine to read the sign which stated that disabled persons must also pay. I believe the signage to be in adequate. Will this be good grounds for appealing. I have taken photographs of the signs and of course I am now not going to shop at Iceland again

disable parking on private land/marked bays are purely tarmac graffiti.

not enforceable and the BB scheme means nowt either.
