Barnstaple Health Centre - Parked in Patients and Visitors
Parking Area
DIR By: S.M

The driver parked at the health centre and had their disabled
badge on display (which is free according to the notice on the
car park).
The driver proceeded to walk towards the high street.
Unbeknownst to the driver, there was a parking attendant on the
site who quickly proceeded to issue a ticket. The attendant
tried her best not to take the picture of the disabled badge on
display.
How to appeal this ticket?
I am the hirer of this car.

What does it say on the signs in the car park?
When you say hirer, is this a Motability car?

That's a tricky one. What does the hire agreement say about
parking charges and admin fees? If you ignore the PCN, then
they will send a PCN to the reg keeper - depending on what the
hire agreement says this may result in them just paying it (and
charging an admin fee) or transferring liability and charging an
admin fee. If you appeal the windscreen PCN, you will give away
the driver's ID. It's not clear which of the T&Cs they are
alleging you have breached - possibly if you were seen walking
away, then they are assuming that you are not a patient (or
visitor) - but that's not actually what it says nor does the
sign say anything about that (it says patients and visitors, but
doesn't specify what that is).

Wait for them to issue a NtK.
Maybe warn the hire company that you are expecting a notice and
will contest it once they nominate you as the hirer.
