    as your duplicate thread says it is SMART PARKING

    you need to follow the advice in the NEWBIES sticky thread near the top of the forum and use the blue text template appeal, do not name or infer who was driving

    Right, so use the template appeal in the NEWBIES FAQs thread to appeal as keeper, not saying who was driving, but attaching a copy of the Blue Badge that relates to you (admit to being a 'occupant' of the car which was parked in a disabled bay).

    NOT that 'I parked in a disabled bay'.

    All explained in the NEWBIES FAQS thread, one click back, you were looking at it when you hit 'new thread'.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
