[member=450]unknowndriver[/member] sorry for the delay, most of
us work full time doing something else.
Here you go:

Dear London Borough of Redbridge,
I start by saying that I apologise for any inadvertent
contravention of the restrictions, the layout is somewhat
confusing because red route bays are not permitted to have
double red lines running through them, normally a bay on a red
route that has white markings is available for use through the
time that the red route is in force (and conversely a bay that
is only available at certain times would have red bay markings
but still no red lines along the kerb).
On this occasion I was taking my daughter to the staton, owing
to her medical condition she has issues with her knees and can't
walk far without aid, so I sought to stop her in the bay as
close as possible to the station so I could help her walk the
short distance remaining.
My daughter is in the process of applying for a blue badge, she
has starting by requesting a supporting letter from her GP but I
am told this can take up to four weeks and it was only requested
quite recently.
I attach what medical evidence is available to me, and her PIP
entitlement letter which confirms a score for moving around of
12 out of 12, which has resulted in an award being made for PIP
at the enhanced rate.
I appreciate this is not a substitute for a blue badge, but in
practice if she had started the blue badge application process
earlier it is all but a given that the application would have
been granted, and it would have then been permissible to stop on
a red route for the purpose of alighting from the vehicle.
I trust that in the circumstances, you will agree to exercise
your discretion not to enforce this penalty charge.
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]
Make sure to save a screenshot of the confirmation page.

OP,
In terms of a blue badge application judging from cp's response
above she automatically qualifies.

Hello,
Coming back to this
I did receive a Notice of Rejection, due to me being away im
only catching up with this now. I am maybe a day away from when
the discount period ends but unsure of what to do since its been
rejected.
I have taken in the above comment and asked my sister whats
happening with the application, she said she was also told by a
work colleague that she should automatically be eligible for the
badge, she said she has put in an application so we are waiting
on that now.
I am attaching the PDF. Would it seem the likely route to pay or
go to the tribunal? WOuld the tribunal see this is as a fair
response of why the car was stopped there?
Thanks for your time and sorry again for the really late post

[member=450]unknowndriver[/member] if it were me I'd be taking
them to the tribunal, as the layout is pants. Double red lines
mean to stopping at any time, and as they say stopping makes the
vehicle eligible for an instant PCN. But it's also a goods
loading bay, so you must be able to stop to get out and look at
the sign. So which is it, a loading bay or an instant PCN no
matter what?
That being said the outcome is not guaranteed, all appeals carry
an element of risk, so you need to decide whether you wish to
pursue this.
