Disabled Badge - Scotland

Rumpole93

I parked in retail park outside Argos, Aberdeen, Scotland. Parked in the Disabled Bay. When I come back I had a parking notice from VCS for not showing disabled badge. Unlocked car and found disabled badge on floor. It must have fell off dash when I shut door. Appealed and have been unsuccessful. What now? Most of the posts I have read but it's English law.

Hi, welcome to the forums.

Have a look for the answer to this question in post #1 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread:

Q - ''I'm in Scotland/NI, so is the advice different?''

I hope your appeal didn't give away any clues to who the driver was.

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately I did give them my name 😢 . Do I do anything different or do I just keep ignoring them?

YOU CAN COMPLAIN TO THE LANDOWNER AND INSIST IT IS CANCELLED

VCS have 5 years to try a court case in your sheriffs court (your small claims court)

meantime IGNORE any debt collector letters

and bear in mind the BB rules in the blue booklet do not apply on private land , so always double check the signage and what is said about your BB

Thank you. Will the Landowners name be on the Parking site notices?

You’re nearer to them than most of us here. Go take a look. But if you’re talking about VCS notices, then vanishingly unlikely (there’s no requirement for them to show such detail on their signage).

If it’s a multi-site retail park, there’s often a large sign near the entrance with a list of the on-site residents. It can be shown at the bottom of that, usually the Managing Agent for the site - a good place to start.

no idea, you would have to check and/or ask the retailers, but I doubt it

chances are the signs may have details on the Managing Agent (M.A.)

or in england we can pay the Land Registry a small fee to get landowner details, but again I have no idea if they also cover Scotland

so you are going to have to learn to gen up on your own "patch" because sometimes its different for Scotland , especially since devolution

for example, your COURT CLAIM system is different and you do not have a law called POFA2012 either

NO but it may be in the phone book or written on the entrance sign

Was this at Berryden?

In which case its Morgan Williams who currently manage the upper half on behalf of Zurich Insurance or Knight Property for the lower half, which includes Argos, unless you parked in the upper section.

It used to be council-owned, with legit parking enforcement and planning requirements that designated it as parking fot that end of the city centre but no more.

Before that it was The Co-Op, bakery and milk plant.

I am now struggling to visualize a milk plant , is this a scottish thing?

This kind of plant!





I also remember their first 'Superstore' on the site - Think it was the former warehouse for their old meal mill that used to occupy part of the site. Possibly the grungiest store I have ever seen - postmodernism/post-industrialism a couple of decades too early!
