Apologies nothing would show up yesterday
I'll upload everything shortly.
Hi,
Thank you for your help.
North Essex Parking Partnership Code 02.
I parked opposite a medical centre I had to attend for a blood
test. I've parked there before without any issues. However, on
Tuesday I came out of the med centre to find a PCN on the car.
I'm currently receiving treatment for lung cancer and find it
difficult to walk more than a few meters without getting very
breathless. (Hence the blue badge)
On the street I parked in the nearest disabled parking bay is
circa 120mts away and I would find that nigh on impossible to
walk.
The area I parked is restricted (see photos) but it's the first
time I seen these signs.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks
Mel.

Were you within (all four wheels) the long marked parking bay or
beyond the end of it?

A restricted parking zone for all intents removes the need to
mark the road with DYL this one allows parking in marked bays
hence the plate except in marked bays. I could be they mean only
loading in marked bays but if so they have done it incorrectly
I would make a challenge to the effect that you were in a marked
bay and so no contravention occurred
post your draft here first and we will tidy it up for you

Please clarify where exactly you were parked? One of your GSV
posted links suggests 20 Manor St, where there is a Disabled bay
and your other link suggests opposite the medical centre at 8
Manor St.
However the question still stands, was the car wholly within a
marked bay?

To be precise, the exemption is 'in signed bays', not marked
bays. Signed as in 'parking place', not 'marked' as in exempted
footway parking (in London).
The on-street confusion is that the driver was in a marked bay,
but the sign in evidence simply repeats the blanket restriction
which is neither necessary nor what a driver would be looking
for.
IMO, the TSM makes it clear that where markings exist then there
is a presumption that the blanket restriction does not apply.
Having been disapplied, other traffic signs, of the form
prescribed for parking places should be placed.
IMO, it is NOT permissible to have what are effectively RPZ
repeater signs within a bay because they are not traffic signs
prescribed for parking places and therefore in the absence of
any such signs the markings indicate a bay where the RPZ
restriction does not apply and the absence of parking place
signs means that parking is permitted 24/7 without payment or
other conditions.

If the car was parked in a bay. I'm not convinced that the
photos show the car in a bay. It might well be outside of the
bay, which is why I've asked the OP to clarify where the car was
parked.
