    I hope you have complained about this to your local MP , who should complain to the relevant MP and departments about this and get a HEB badge added to national exemptions no matter if it's public or private streets and parking

    Why? There has been no suggestion of misuse that I saw.

    In this particular instance, as I said earlier, I agree it is unlikely there was misuse. I also agree that there needs to be proper provision for genuine emergency situations.

    However having been on the receiving end of arrogant, inconsiderate and unlawful parking by various self entitled medical professionals in the last few years, not all can be trusted to behave responsibly.

    So yes, sadly, I have to agree with Johno100 that the emergency aspect does need spelling out.

    With rights come responsibilities and anyone caught misusing such badges should face disciplinary action.

    Who’s ‘catching’ them?

    Have you reported any of them?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.

    Undervalued, I'm struggling with this.

    How did you find yourself "on the receiving end of arrogant, inconsiderate and unlawful parking by various self entitled medical professionals in the last few years"?

    I have explained earlier in the thread.

    In any case it is a side issue to the OP's particular problem so I am going to leave it there.

    Parking companies certainly won't "police" misuse. They will ticket everyone and refuse all appeals regardless of circumstances.
