My coolfire blue display failed, so no probs a drive into town and I've now got a black replacement.
On the way back to the car I GET A PARKING TICKET ! Parked in a disabled bay, blue badge on display, nill tax disk ! . The REASON was I had " half a tyre on the white line, so meaning half a tyre was outside of the bay !! FFS how petty is that.
My 1st ticket since I passed my test in 87 !

Dispute it, they will let you off almost certainly, more than ¾ of disputed tickets are cancelled

Half a tyre outside the bay and slap have a ticket. She's horrible drunk with "power" last week she gave an old chap a ticket as he parked a bit away from the curb to get his oxygen tank ! He needed that extra room but she just nodded and slapped the ticket ! . I had words with her but it's unless. And yes she has got a laser measure ! Too stuck up to have a normal tape one !

Was her laser measure calibrated correctly before shift? I doubt it was, instant grounds straight away.

Thank you for your email. If this relates to a penalty charge notice the case will be put on hold and you will receive a responce in due course. Unfortunately we currently have a backlog of 2-3 weeks or so however if you were entitled to a discounted rate when you contacted us this would be re-offered. All other matters will be dealt with as soon as possible.
Let the waiting begin

Think you will be better off in the long run if you pay then dispute it, otherwise the bill will just grow with penalties and while you may get the original ticket scrubbed once bailiffs get involved in collecting penaltys they will need paying so will screw u till they do.. tho easier said than done..

phatfil if I pay it ( or could ) the Appeal gets cancelled, that's the only info I could get from the phone call. Once it's paid that's the end of it. Rock and a hard place !
