Newham, Code 01o Parked in a restricted street during prescribed
hours (blue badge holder), Streatfeild Avenue

Hi team,
I hope all is well.
Parked mostly in the bay but due to lack of space parked outside
the bay. Forgot to put the clock up but had the badge up and
therefore resulted in getting a fine.
Any advice would be extremely helpful.
Please find pictures attached and the google location:

There is a CPZ sign at the end of the road showing restricted
hours of Mon-Sat 8 -6.30 facing away from you, therefore it's
reasonable to assume that these are the restricted hours which
apply to where you were parked.
The PCN is timed at 3.20pm on Sat 24th.
The degree of incursion onto the yellow line far exceeds any de
minimis argument.
On the face of it the contravention is established.
However, presumably you didn't enter the street from that end
which raises the question what was your route and were clear CPZ
signs displayed?
After this you're* left with a request to exercise discretion
IMO.
Pl post the PCN in full, both sides
*- who is the registered keeper and are their DVLA details
current?

The exemption from the waiting restriction is subject to a blue
badge and parking disc, AKA clock, being displayed in the
prescribed position with the clock showing the next quarter-hour
after parking e.g. park at 3.49, clock to be set at 4pm etc.
Exemption lasts for max. of 3 hours and is only available if the
vehicle had not been so parked within the previous 3 hours.
OP, Motobility are the owner of the vehicle, as in hold title
to, but it is permitted that the contracted party is the
registered keeper.

Why did you park there, how long for and can you prove it.
That said this is Newham but you never know they may cancel.

Hi,
To visit family, I was there for an hour before getting the
ticket. I have tickets of when I went to nearby post office and
there is cameras on that road.
I doubt it, these councils are clutching at anything to get the
money
Thanks

Yes no clock on display. However, does not the amount of the car
being in the bay play a factor. I remember getting a ticket
years ago in Haringey and this was the case. I remember using
PPP but cannot find it anymore

Is this your Blue Badge? If not, whose is it?
And is it a Newham Blue Badge?
Your two front wheels are well over the end line of the parking
bay so the front half of the car is fully in contravention of
the yellow line, not just overhanging.
The three hour exemption allowing you to park on a yellow line
only applies if the clock is also displayed, not just the blue
badge.
That said, your PCN is dated Saturday the 24th May. So the
discount rate applies until Friday the 6th June. Get a challenge
(informal representation) delivered to the Council before the
6th June and the Council should reoffer the discount if they
reject. So always have a go. You never know what might happen.
I suggest a humble and contrite plea for leniency. Terribly
sorry, I didn't realise that I had to display the clock, if I
had displayed the clock then there would be no reason for the
PCN, it was an honest mistake, it won't happen again, there was
no attempt to evade a parking charge, and so on in that manner.
Ask them to use their discretion to cancel the PCN.
You can challenge online. Upload scans/photos of both sides of
the Blue Badge when you do so.

The OP says they forgot the clock not that they didn't know.
Any reason why?
This case in Islington shows a type of approach.
