PCN issued while parked with a blue badge on Great Queen St

Hi there,
Wondering if I can get some help please, I got a PCN last night
at 10:17 pm for parking being parked on a double yellow line
even though I had my mom‘s blue badge and cloak displayed
correctly. I could not see any signage or curb markings saying
that there are restrictions in place we were going to a wedding
venue at the grand connect rooms on great Queen Street. and I
don’t know why they issued a PCN for the reason is parked in a
restricted street during prescribed hours but I could not see
any prescribed hours close by on that road. My mum is the blue
badge holder and also a wheelchair user I was wondering if
there’s any way I could challenge this PCN. Also the car is a
courtesy car while mine is being repaired so if I don’t get this
appeal accepted I will probably get the repair company charging
me more.
I attach the PCN

Camden is one of the boroughs that has a special zone for
disabled parking where you can't use the normal blue badge rules
and this is in its green badge zone. Even with a green badge you
can't park on yellow lines.
I think all you have is an ask for discretion.

I did not know anything about a green zone, I never go to these
area and especially not night time when you can’t see sign.
Anything I can do

Is this something ok to write for appeal
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to challenge Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) number
CU72332314, issued on 05/10/2025 at 22:17 on Great Queen Street,
London.
At the time, I was transporting my mother, who is a registered
Blue Badge holder, to a family wedding at the Grand Connaught
Rooms. Her Blue Badge and time clock were correctly displayed in
the vehicle.
I parked on a double yellow line under the understanding that
Blue Badge holders are permitted to park for up to 3 hours,
provided there are no loading restrictions. At the location, I
did not observe any kerb markings or signage indicating loading
restrictions or that the area was part of Camden’s Green Badge
Zone.
I was unaware that Great Queen Street falls within Camden’s
Green Badge Zone, which I now understand has stricter rules for
Blue Badge holders. However, the lack of visible signage or kerb
markings made it unclear that additional restrictions applied.
I respectfully request that you consider the following:
My mother’s Blue Badge and time clock were clearly displayed.
There were no visible kerb markings or signs indicating loading
restrictions or Green Badge Zone boundaries.
The time of parking (22:17) was outside normal controlled hours,
and I believed I was complying with Camden’s Blue Badge parking
rules.
This the first time I have travelled to this part of London and
not familiar with it.
I have attached photographs of the location wedding invitation
card and the Blue Badge display for your reference.
Thank you for your time and I would appreciate very much if
consideration can be given on this occasion.

Let's be clear:
Your mother holds the BB and, sorry to say, it is her task to
ensure that when she provides her BB to a driver she makes them
aware of its uses and limitations.
These are set out clearly in the booklet Blue Badge, Rights and
Responsibilities (England) which is issued to every BB holder.
So pl don't do on about special signs as none is needed and the
onus is not on the council but your mother/you.
Even less go on about restriction times, DYL are 24/7 as you
know.
You/she made a mistake. It happens.
You are asking for discretion. IMO, do not start drifting off
into a (non-existent) defence because you have none and this
could just antagonise someone whose favour you're trying to
encourage.

You've got some time, so let's flesh out the issues.
While display of a BB is not an exemption, assisted alighting
is. You mention that your mother uses a wheelchair. If I
remember correctly, there are steps into the Connaught. Also,
the line outside these is single, why did you park further away,
30 or so metres on DYL when SYL was available, at least in
theory according to GSV?
In any event, pl expand on what you did as regards assisting
your mother into the building and if you can remember, at what
time was this? The important point is what you were doing when
the CEO determined that a contravention had occurred.

The whole street was full of cars, limousines etc the only space
I could find was where I parked and I saw another person parking
in front of me who was also assisting there mother to the event
and they displayed their blue badge. The time we parked and went
in the building was 8:00 we were late and we finished and came
out after 11:00

Thanks for the detail and your honesty.
I cannot see any exemption applying so perhaps misunderstanding
is your best line with reps. Wait for other views.
