Hi
The driver works in the community with the elderly mental health and took a client wheelchair user but no blue badge into town . Parked in a convenient place for the wheelchair looked around and saw a pay station read it and paid 50p .
When they returned they had a parking ticket stating that they had failed to display a valid p&d ticket . It turns out that the ticket that they bought was for the disabled section but there was nothing on the machine stating this when they went back to check there was a sign about 7 foot in the air but it is not clear and to be honest it would have thought that it would be better to put it on the machine .
They spoke to the attendant who was very off had and just said appeal it then. The driver was fuming as thry had bought a ticket just not the correct one
Do they need to pay this
Thank you

Where is the newbies thread ?
At the top of the main page just under where you clicked on the New Thread button.
It is essential reading and tells you how to appeal and when using the BPA template in blue. Do NOT reveal the driver's identity. Just cut and paste and send the appeal exactly as it is.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.

You need to take pictures of the sign and how it's located
Was this a council ticket ? or from a private company
The problem with parking attendants is that they grew up
wanting to be a police officer, they failed the test and ended
up being a parking drongo. Feel sorry for them, it takes a lot
to become a drongo0 -

Hi
Thank you for your advice I have read through the newbies thread and put an alert on my phone marked my old fashioned calendar for day 26 noted that I need to check ,check double check then triple check that it is keeper not driver
Just a couple of questions
I have photos of the machine and signage do I send copies in with my appeal or wait for popla
Do I give any other info ie work etc or is that too much info and wait for popla
sorry if I am being a bit thick
Thanks you0 -
Wait for popla.
Edit your OP to remove details of who was driving0 -
