       O2 offense - Parked unrestricted road with a disability badge

       Hi,
       I want to appeal this as my father who is disabled needed me to
       take him out of the car and i correctly displayed the badge,
       however the PCSO said no disability badge allowed even though i
       couldnt see anywhere stating that. I was parked inside the
       bay..(not loading bay).
       This is from the Birmingham city council. Does my appeal have
       any ground? Can someone please help me appeal?
       Thank you soo much in advance

       Unrestricted road???
       The photos clearly show both waiting and loading restrictions in
       operation when the PCN was issued.
       The BB gives exemption from the waiting restriction but not when
       loading restrictions also are in force.
       About the only thing I can think of is vague location being as
       Alum Rock Road is a long road (unlikely to fly IMO) or an
       apologetic challenge based on ooops, I didn't notice the loading
       restriction please use your discretion to cancel... enclose a
       copy of the BB

       The term restricted refers to any parking restrictions that may
       apply.
       Sorry, we forget it's legal speak, not to be confused with a
       road where access may be restricted due to roadworks or similar.
       In this case waiting and loading restrictions as shown by the
       yellow line and yellow kerb blips.
       The post sign says when they are in force.
       When your Dad got his BB he should have received a guidance
       booklet...worth a read to avoid this sort of error, a BB does
       not mean you can park anywhere.

       I didn't say not a chance, just that there were no clear
       options..to me.
       Someone else may come up with something.
       If nothing else, try this, you never know and as long as sent
       within the 14 day discount period, they will re-offer so nothing
       to lose.
       Dear Sirs
       Ref PCN ?
       I seem to have made a mistake but to be honest, haven't a clue
       what that is.
       I was taking my Dad (the Blue Badge Holder) shopping and parked
       in a parking bay. The bay was not operative, a yellow line
       restriction was in force so I displayed the Blue badge as I
       believed I should.
       When I saw the CEO giving the PCN I asked why but was told the
       badge doesn't count.
       But I don't know why.
       If I was in error as the CEO said, please accept my sincere
       apologies and request that you use your discretion to cancel
       this PCN.
       I attach a copy of the Blue Badge for your records.
       Many thanks in anticipation.
       Hugs and Kisses
       The last line is optional.

       I agree with DancingDad's suggestion, but in the meantime please
       give us the number plate. I want to get hold of the traffic
       order just in case it doesn't match the signs and lines, but I
       need to have a look at the photos on the council website first.

       Written words are in TPT library... I think this one.

       But no plans and they will be needed to show restrictions that
       should be in place
       Re the words...3.4.1 applies
