PCN had pass in window

Hi since leaving the big city ive managed to avoid any issues
with parking for years, which has been great. But today it
changed, my current job, im a support worker, there was no where
on the road to park only double yellows, which my pass entitles
me to do, if im currently supporting, which I was, I took the SU
(service user) to buy some food, came back parked up, theres
several care houses nearby so staff often park here. To my left
when I got out of the car two traffic wardens were there, one
obvioulsy new one who was putting a ticket on a car with the
other one showing him what to do.
As I walked off the experienced one told me I couldnt park
there, I showed him the pass in the car and my badge, he still
insisted I couldnt park there and would issue a ticket, I tried
to explain again and he said people abuse it and its only for
house visits. He then started to film me so I filmed him back,
he said he would wait 3 minutes then issue the ticket(is this
the law?) there was no where else to park I had to get the SU
home but could not leave because I was worried about a ticket
and also thought I might need evidence to show what was going
on, I tried to explain how rediculous this was but he wouldnt
listen.
I have photos and videos, im not sure of the laws on filming and
taking photos but assume in a public place its allowed, I really
didnt want this but things happen. Can I report him for wasting
time, I understand people may abuse this or have fake info, but
I had everything to prove what I was doing was true. I dont want
to cast judgement but almost felt like he was doing it becasue a
new parking attendent was there, but he may just of had enough
of people who have abused it, but he still should obey the
parking laws but maybe he knows more than me?
Do you need me to upload pictures or videos as well?
Thanks in advance.

No need for video of confrontations.
Please read this and update your thread accordingly: -
HTML https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/read-this-first-before-posting-your-case!-this-section-is-for-council-tfl-dartme/
We also need to see this pass you have, and its terms and
conditions. Also what is a "Service User"
The law on council-served PCNs is that the owner of the vehicle
has legal responsibility for paying or appealing a PCN. Please
tell us about the vehicle and its ownership.
PS: It is extremely unlikely the CEOs knew anything about your
Pass. Assuming you can park on DYLs with it, you will need to
submit representations to the council to get the PCN cancelled.

Hi
Ok I think ive figured it out.

Also a Service User or SU, is the person im supporting so the
reason I was parked there. Ive also since taken photos of the
two entrances to the street and there are no sings at all
dictating restrictions, the first post closest to where my car
was parked has no sign on it, but looks like use to, I have to
go quite far down the street to find a post which has yellow
sign saying 9-6 Mon-Sat. I understand double yellows might be
different?

Here are more photos I took today.
The road is Victoria Street, Barnstpale, North Devon.
Entrance, near where my car was parked

The fist post with no sign on

Further down the first post with a sign on, there may be 3or4
more like this on this street.

The entrance from the other way

HTML https://imgpile.com/p/Nho9TqX
If you wanted more info, the road has mainly double yellows at
the beginning of each entrance, some of the road is single and
some of the road has no lines(so free), but as you can see
theres a lot of houses and people have a lot of cars these days,
so me and other workers often have to park on doubles to assist
service users and as pointed out earlier I was supporting
someone so this may have caused them some stress as well as they
have needs.
I had also recently talked to a more reasonable traffic warden
who told me parking restrictions were 9am-6pm Monday Saturday?

You say you were parked on double-yellow lines. These need no
signs because they apply 24x7, so any restrictions on the rest
of the street are irrelevant to your case. I note your pass
conditions say you can park on yellow lines unless there is
space elsewhere, or there is a loading restriction. GSV dated
July 2024 shows double-yellows, but no loading restriction.
So what you have to do now is submit an informal challenge to
the PCN stating what you have told us, and also include copies
of the permit as you have posted here. You'll need to be
specific on the address being visited too. Do you have any sort
of worksheet at all ? If so, submit a copy of that. If they
reject and you decide to take the matter further, you'll have to
wait for the Notice to Owner. Are you the owner and is your V5C
Registration Certificate up-to-date ?

Thank you for the information. I do have a shift sheet with
address on and should be able to locate v5. I assume the 9-6
post is for the part of the road where its single yellow lines?
