Oh dear they still not getting this are they?

16.1 The Equality Act 2010 says that providers of services to the public must make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to remove barriers which may discriminate against disabled people.
16.2 ‘Reasonable adjustments’ to prevent discrimination are likely to include larger ‘disabled’ parking spaces near to the entrance or amenities for disabled people whose mobility is impaired. It also could include lowered payment machines and other ways to pay if payment is required: for example, paying by phone. You and your staff also need to realise that some disabled people may take a long time to get to the payment machine.
16.3 Operators of off-street car parks do not have to recognise the Blue Badge scheme. But many choose to do so to meet their obligations under the Equality Act. Although a Blue Badge is not issued to all disabled people it is issued to those with mobility problems. So it is a good way for parking operators to identify people who need special parking provision.
16.4 You are at risk of a claim under the Equality Act if you do
not discourage abuse of the ‘disabled’ spaces. This means that you need to make sure the spaces are regularly checked to be sure they are not being used by people who do not have a disability.
16.5 If your landowner provides a concession that allows parking for disabled people, if a vehicle displays a valid Blue Badge you must not issue it with parking charge notices.

That last sentence is very interesting though. It completely knocks into touch the possibility of any 'ANPR' (bog standard CCTV camera, in fact) fake PCNs at all.
A camera trained on the entrance/exit cannot know whether a BB was displayed or where the car was parked so if they 'must not' issue fake PCNs to such visitors then...how can they issue any?
CP plus at service stations = stuffed.
Highview at Tesco = stuffed.
Parking Eye and similar = stuffed.
PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

That's my thought coupon, just wanted to know if that was the take of it on here.When posting a parking issue on MSE do not reveal any information that may enable PPCs to identify you. They DO monitor the forum.

Mind you, i think they possibly have more to worry about at the moment.
