       Contravention Code 02 with no single or double yellow lines and
       No yellow "blips" on the kerb
   DIR By: disabled78

       Dear Sir/Madam,
       I have received a PCN ticket with Contravention Code 02 with no
       single or double yellow lines and No yellow "blips" on the kerb.
       I have made an appeal which was rejected the next working day.

       ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Further evidence can be seen by using the PCN No. and Vehicle
       reg.
       Please advise:
       1) Since the appeal has been rejected, based on the grounds and
       circumstances, do I have chances of winning if I take it to
       formal representation or should I take it further for formal
       representation?
       2) What other grounds or information can I specify during formal
       representation?
       3) What is formal process involved in formal representation. I
       am aware of NTO will be sent in 28 days, and then what are the
       steps involved thereafter?
       ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       Appeal which was rejected follows:
       Dear Sirs,
       The registered keeper of this vehicle XXyyXXX, received a notice
       dated 16 March 2026 with Notice No.BK111111111 with
       Contravention Code 02 - Parked or Loading/Unloading in a
       restricted street where waiting and loading/unloading
       restrictions are in force
       I contend that the alleged contravention did not occur and wish
       to appeal against it on the following grounds:
       Following information and following exhibits are part of the
       appeal.
       - Blue Badge was correct displayed with the clock, and can be
       seen on the Dashboard. Picture of the same at the time of the
       incident has been provided as evident from the pictures from
       Enforcement Officer.
       - The car was stopped on the side of the road from 17:05 to
       17:06 with No yellow line and No yellow kerb blips and correctly
       displayed blue badge, there were no kerb blips to alert me to a
       loading/unloading restriction so I have no reason to check for
       any other regulatory notice plate up and down the road.
       - Under the Equality Act 2010, Blue Badge holders must be
       treated with understanding and can’t be discriminated against.
       - The car was not loading or unloading rather picking up an
       autistic child which is generally allowed with Contravention
       Code 02
       - Legislation states that a Contravention Code 02 is used when a
       vehicle is parked on single or double yellow lines and a loading
       ban is in place, which is indicated by yellow "blips" (or
       stripes/chevrons) on the kerb; on this incident there were no
       single or double yellow lines and No yellow "blips" (or
       stripes/chevrons) on the kerb.
       - There is an obligation at regulation 18(1)(b) of The Local
       Authorities' Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales)
       Regulations 1996 to maintain signage, in this instance the
       council has quite plainly defaulted on this obligation.
       Contravention Code 02 is generally prohibited by yellow kerb
       blips which was missing in this case.
       - As a result the signage is not adequate, and it follows that
       the contravention alleged did not occur.
       I would kindly like to point in particular :-
       Referring Section 16 of Equality Act 2010 which says you must
       make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities:
       16.1 The Equality Act 2010 says that providers of services to
       the public must make 'reasonable adjustments' to remove barriers
       which may discriminate against disabled people.
       Please cancel the PCN with immediate effect.
       If the PCN has not been cancelled, please provide a POPLA code
       that allows me to appeal to POPLA.
       Thanks and Regards,
       -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       According to the council, you were in a Restricted Parking Zone.
       In case you didn't know, these are the Devil's device because
       they act as a CPZ but without the markings!
       Therefore, if you were only this applies:
       The car was not loading or unloading rather picking up an
       autistic child which is generally allowed with Contravention
       Code 02

       Yes it's an RPZ but there must be clear entry signs as examples
       below. The CEO has taken pics of a repeater sign.

       Thanks for all the useful information.
       So is it worth taking it via formal representation (and what
       grounds) or just pay up and close it off?
       Thanks

       Pl expand on what I posted i.e. 'picking up autistic child'.
       Subject to conditions, this is an exemption from the waiting and
       loading restrictions irrespective of whether in a CPZ or RPZ.

       Thanks.
       I believe if I take it via formal representation then I loose
       the 50% discount option, is that correct?
       If I loose the discounted option, then I would like to know what
       are the the chances of success with this reason - 'picking up
       autistic child' (please note - based on the PCN ticket, car was
       stopped for approx. 2 minutes) - based on past information that
       you guys might know?
       Everybody - please feel free to share your opinion/guide.
       Best Regards,

       We are really looking for you to describe your actions. i.e. did
       you need to leave the vehicle; where was the child picked up
       from, etc.
       two minutes sounds entirely reasonable but we need you to
       explain what happened.
       And lose is spelt with one 'O' btw (personal issue for me)
