hoping someone can help me, i have a disabled badge and i went
to the supermarket, there are spaces outside, and so
This morning at 9.15 i parked in what i thought was a space, and
got some essentials, by the time i got back 10 minutes later
there was a pcn on my screen, saying i had parked in a loading
bay.
I did not even realise it was a loading bay as they have put a
red fence across and i parked in front of the red fence, and i
thought it was a space. can i fight this.

Post the PCN (all sides), please, we need to see it as we don't
often see PCNs from Bridgend. It may contain fatal errors.
Please also post-up a GSV link to the location.

what i find confusing is there is a sign saying no loading at
any time, and there are double yellow marks on the bit i parked
in, and with the red fence, i therefore assumed this was not a
loading bay

The council seem to have repainted the road markings but failed
to repaint the double-yellows inside the loading bay. Clearly,
as a loading bay, you can't park there on a BB. The repainted
double yellows also have kerb blips for No Loading. I have to
say that I don't think a win is guaranteed, but I have yet to
study the PCN.
I suspect the council forgot to remove the double-yellow lines
in the loading bay, or they covered them over and the covering
has worn off.

Let's start by turning the PCN the right way up:

Obviously there's an 0845 number on the PCN, that can win on its
own as per Paul Bateman v Derbyshire County Council

However before we even get to that, was your blue badge
displayed? If it was, well you're allowed to park in a loading
bay with a blue badge, see these cases:

Draft reps:
[indent]
Dear Bridgend County Borough Council,
I challenge PCN PT32797885 on the ground that the alleged
contravention did not occur. My blue badge was properly
displayed and blue badge holders are entitled to park in loading
bays. Further to this, the penalty demanded exceeds the amount
due in the circumstances of the case, this is because payment is
offered via a premium-rate telephone number. While I appreciate
other payment methods are offered, that does not save the
council's position in light of the decisions in London Borough
of Camden v The Parking Adjudicator & Ors [2011] EWHC 295
(Admin) and Paul Bateman v Derbyshire County Council
(DJ00037-2209, 10 November 2022).
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]
Send the representation via the council website and keep a
screenshot of the confirmation screen.
