[member=61]privates[/member] no, but there are more things worth
looking at, I just need your friend to answer my question above.
For reference the traffic order is The Camden (Parking Places)
(CA-F) Traffic Order 2012

Then even if you were not initially in contravention, by the
time the CEO served the PCN you were. In the circumstances, your
best bet is to make a plea for discretion, which for a blue
badge holder will normally be accepted more often than not.
Here's a draft:
[indent]
Dear London Borough of Camden,
I would like to explain that at the time of the alleged
contravention I had been accompanying my disabled brother (who
is a blue badge holder) across the road into Camden Market for a
meal. Unfortunately I forgot to display the blue badge on this
occasion, I should add that due to his medical condition I had
to assist him from the car and this would have somewhat
distracted me.
While I understand that under the law this is no excuse, I would
request that on this occasion you exercise discretion not to
pursue the matter further, I will of course be mindful to ensure
full compliance going forwards.
I am uploading a copy of my brother's blue badge for your
records.
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]
Make sure to keep a screenshot of the confirmation page.
