MET Parking - Parking or waiting in a disabled bay without
clearly displaying a disabled badge: Neasden McDonalds

Dear Free Traffic Legal Advice team,
I’ve been directed to your service for guidance regarding a
private parking charge issued to me as the registered keeper of
a vehicle.
The incident occurred at the Neasden McDonald’s car park, where
the driver briefly stopped in a disabled bay close to the
entrance. This was due to an urgent need for the elderly
disabled passenger to consume food, stemming from a pre-existing
medical condition. For context, this took place on the evening
of the passenger’s sister’s passing, and the individual was in
considerable emotional and physical distress.
Although the passenger holds a valid disabled badge and remained
in the vehicle throughout, the badge was not displayed at the
time. Unfortunately, due to their condition and emotional state,
they were unable to recall or manage this detail while the
driver went inside to purchase food.
I have visited the same branch again to speak with the Manager,
though he mentioned he was unable to intervene.
I then wrote to the McDonalds franchisee who did not respond
until I had to call McDonalds customer service agents and
eventually she responded that she was unable to intervene.
I would be grateful for any advice or support you can offer in
challenging this charge.
