Should she reply to the email with a photo of the single yellow,
and a link to the relevant legislation that states a blue badge
holder can park on a single and double yellow?
Or just ignore it now and keep parking there as normal.

They know the law. The letter is just all too typical rushed
nonsense we often see and in any case they rarely concede
they've got certain things wrong.
But if you want to reply say something like you were puzzled by
the letter and for clarification, you were on a single yellow
using your blue badge, which is an exemption, and this also
applies to double yellows.

Well done.
Perhaps..
Thank you for your letter confirming that PCN ******* has been
cancelled.
However, I am compelled to write to you because of your comment
that my Blue Badge is not valid on double yellow lines because:
'You were given a PCN for parking on a double yellow line; you
cannot park here at any time.'
Setting aside for one moment the fact that I was actually parked
on a single yellow line, I know of know lawful reason why I
should be prevented from parking on DYL provided I display a
valid Blue Badge. If the council have received an exemption from
the Local Authorities' Traffic Orders (Exemptions for Disabled
Persons) (England) Regulations 2000 (not that even the Secretary
of State has this power), then please confirm and provide me
with a copy or legal reference. Otherwise, please confirm that
this comment is without merit and that I and every other BB
holder in your jurisdiction am safe to follow the guidance given
in the BB booklet, see attached:

Thank you 😊
I have sent them the email. I've had to send it to the council's
parking department because the email address that the response
came from - although a standard address - doesn't accept
incoming mail.
I will update if there's anything noteworthy.
Many thanks for your and everyone else's help and support. I
truly appreciate it - as does the driver in question.
