Sheffield City Council - Contravention 02 parked/ loading on str
eet with loading restrictions - Beech Hill Road, 05JAN26

Dear All,
Wishing you a belated very happy new year!
My post relates to a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) issued at 12:07
on Monday, 5th January 2026 on Beech Hill Road in Sheffield. For
precise location information please see the links at the bottom
of my post.
The circumstances are as follows: The driver- an elderly blue
badge holder (first awarded a blue badge roughly one year ago)-
was required to attend the Royal Hallamshire Hospital for
routine monitoring of an ongoing condition. He understood that
his blue badge entitled him to park on double yellow lines, as
long as he did not park dangerously or cause an obstruction to
the highway. Unfortunately, he did not understand that he was
not entitled to park on double yellow lines where a loading
restriction was in force.
Between 12:07 and 12:07, Civil Enforcement Officer CEO947 of
Sheffield City Council (SCC) observed a blue Toyota (the
driver’s car) to be “parked or loading/ unloading in a
restricted street where waiting and loading/ unloading
restrictions are in force”, and issued a PCN by affixing it to
the windscreen of the driver’s car. The photographic evidence-
which I am able to view on a desktop only and by navigating
Sheffield City Council’s website (no direct link was provided on
the PCN, only vague instructions as to how to do this)- shows
the driver’s car parked on the double yellow lines, displaying
the blue badge and parking clock set to 10:00 (just over two
hours before the PCN was issued).

The PCN confirms that SCC believe that a fine of £70 is due, but
that prompt payment within 14 days will see the tariff reduced
by 50% to £35.
I am unsure whether this is relevant or not, but the driver
previously received a PCN for the same contravention 3 weeks
ago, however the driver was not made aware that he had received
a PCN at the time for personal reasons, and a relative of the
driver paid on his behalf. On this occasion, the driver has been
made aware that he has received a PCN.
I would appreciate some advice here: are there grounds for
appeal? What would the best next steps be? Is there anything
else that you would like to tell me, or you think I should know?
If you have any questions or need further information, please do
not hesitate to ask.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Kind regards,
appreciativecolander :)

Dear Incandescent,
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to successfully integrate the
images into my post. However, you should be able to view all
images- including the PCN- by using the link at the bottom of
the post. Or see below.
Thanks for your interest!

Looks like there is only a plea for discretion.
Driver needs to read the blue badge booklet!

+1
Double-yellow lines are in good order as are the kerb 'blips'
for No Loading. Only a plea for the council to use it's
discretion for an elderly and fairly new BB holder is my
suggestion. However, such is the greed for cash in councils
nowadays, it is more or less certain they will refuse the reps,
but submit them anyway, as at least it makes them do at least
some work for their money ! They almost invariably re-offer the
discount provided the reps are with them inside the discount
period. Not worth taking it any further than than in my opinion,
umless the council shoot themselves in the foot in their reply.

FRen't you getting close to the deadline for paying or
submitting reps ? If nobody else has contributed maybe they
agree with me that you do not have a good basis for an appeal.
