Options
Hi I just got a parking ticket yesterday for parking in a disabled parking bay , I do have a disabled blue badge for my son but i forgot to put it out you can see the vehicle is for a disabled user because it has a ramp, anyway I have been given £60 ticket or £30 if paid within 14 days should I just ignore it or fill in the appeals form bearing in mind the parking is free

    I would say its private, who's ever heard of free council parking ? ;)

    Is this in England or Wales? Are you the registered keeper of the vehicle ?

    Thanks

    errr , me

    we had it round here until this current financial year, plus there is free council parking in stockport near me on certain council car parks etc

    better to have the person actually say it than speculate about it

    if people actually said so in their posts we wouldnt have to ask

    One of our local council car-parks (across the road from Southwell Minster) allows 2 hours free parking, with payment if you want to stop longer. It's all done via a P&D machine.

    Please start again at square one and don't pass 'go' until you've read the 'PRIVATE PARKING TICKET? NEWBIES PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!' thread at the top:

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=163

    Please read the top thread - it covers ALL your queries IF this is PRIVATE 'parking charge notice'.
    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:

    Follow the advice by coupon mad above, read the sticky thread at the top of the forum, who is the parking company ?
