       There are the council photos, which show the the council's case
       is hopeless:

       There's basically no way you could lose this: single yellow line
       with no kerb blips and a blue badge on display.

       Thank you - that's exactly what I thought when he parked it
       there...
       I suppose, untimely the question is - would the parking
       restriction signage (allowed parking in a bus lane only in
       specific times during the day) supersede the blue badge parking
       on a single yellow line?

       No, because there's no kerb blips. With no kerb blips there's no
       reason for a blue badge holder to look at the signs.

       Ok guys
       My Dad received the nto.
       should his reps be similar to his informal appeal?

       [member=311]zeezee[/member] formal reps draft:
       [indent]
       Dear London Borough of Redbridge,
       The contravention alleged on the face of the notice is "01 -
       Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours", however
       as the CEO's photos will confirm my blue badge was properly
       displayed. By virtue of regulation 8(2) of The Local
       Authorities' Traffic Orders (Exemptions for Disabled Persons)
       (England) Regulations 2000, a properly displayed disabled
       person's badge is a complete defence to the contravention
       alleged on the face of the penalty charge notice.
       Your informal rejection is noted but the contravention alleged
       on the face of the penalty charge notice has nothing to do with
       bus lanes, and I am only required to deal with the allegation on
       the face of the penalty charge notice.
       The CEO's photos confirms there are no loading kerb blips at the
       location where the vehicle was parked, so the blue badge is a
       complete defence to the matter alleged, it follows that the
       contravention alleged did not occur and the penalty charge must
       be cancelled.
       The only real question is whether you wish to cancel it now, or
       whether you wish to incur a £25 tribunal fee in order for the
       tribunal to direct you to cancel the penalty, however should
       this become necessary i will contend it is wholly unreasonable
       for you to reject these representations and you should therefore
       also pay for my costs.
       Yours faithfully,
       [/indent]
       Again don't forget to take a screenshot of the confirmation
       page.

       Hi Guys
       Looks like Redbridge finally responded with looks like a generic
       kind of reply.
       here is the response. :(

       Is there anything additional I can do to convince the council
       that they have made a clear mistake in giving the PCN?

       No, they've given their response to your formal representations,
       and have demanded the full £130, so it is now a total no-brainer
       to take them to London Tribunals as the penalty remains the same
       and there are no additional costs to pay.

       Thank you.
       Apart from being allowed to park on a single yellow line
       (displaying a blue badge) even in restricted times (via a bus
       lane) - what other arguments can he derive from this situation
       when drawing up the appeal to the Adj?
