If someone with a disability but no blue badge uses a space what then?

Try and see the bigger picture.

Then it's their own fault for not applying for one, it would be stupid not to if you want to be able to use dissabled parking spaces.

Do you think that parking attendants have phsycic powers and can tell just by looking at a car that the owner is dissabled. They have to use some way of identifying a dissabled person. You wouldn't expect to get away with it in a council dissabled parking space.

What about someone from another country with no blue badge but a disability, can they park in a disabled space?

Why don't you check with the foreign office?

Is this organised through your local council? Do they issue a licence or permit to you to allow you to do this?

What is the wording you have to have on your sign?

The scheme is part of NCP.
The wording is that you must be a permit holder to park there, and if you have no permit you are agreeing to pay £40.
I take a photo of the offending vehicle and its proximity to the sign, stick the ticket on the windscreen, again taking a photo with warning sign in view, and post the lot off to NCP.

It's my land, and if you want to avoid hassle, don't park on it, I don't hide in the bushes and jump out when somone parks on it, but I will make it awkward as possible when signs are ignored.
The 'do as i please, and wriggle out on a technicality' merchants on here would have something to say if I just rolled up and parked on their garden!!!

Some people on the thread seem to think it's okay to do as they wish, however if they thought about others and the effect their actions have on them, they might think twice.

Once again a newly registered poster comes out in defence of PPC's.

Which PPC do you work for?

Didn't think they dealt with parking - do they?

How about this scenario - I drive a disabled person to a supermarket.

Is it an NCP car park then and you work for them?
You issue tickets on their behalf?
You cannot issue them in your own right?

People on here do not wriggle out on a technicality, they do not pay unenforceable invoices issued by scam merchants

Apart from the trolls and windup merchants I don't know of anyone here suggesting that a driver should just park willy nilly on private land. What we do say though is to ignore the unenforcible invoices from ppc's who allow parking and then charge penalties for offending some spurious reasons. If you don't want anyone else parking on your land gates and bollards do the trick. As any(good) lawyer will tell you a penalty for contravening a contract is NOT allowed by law so its really a total waste of time for NCP to try to follow it through to the courts. Charge a reasonable amount and you would be paid without much fuss, charge a penalty and it will get you nothing.
Out of curiosity how many of the invoices you plaster on windscreens actually turn into cash? Be honest now.

No you should not, drop them off at the door, its closer anyway. When they are done you just pick them all up. Simples.
