I'm almost certain you will have no luck.Previously I got 3 tickets on consecutive days for parking in a disabled bay without displaying a blue badge.I was in hospital at the time.The tickets were all issued by the same warden who knew the car was mine, it had been parked outside my house for the last 2 years.The warden also knew I had s blue badge because this warden was a regular down our road.My blue badge was on my dashboard as usual, but it was parked it the opposite direction to what I usually park and the sun on the windscreen distorted it and it dropped onto the floor.I wrote to Hounslow explaining what had happened and offered to send in my distorted badge to which they replied that as I was outside the 14 days allowed for the 50%, they should insist I pay the full £360, but ad a gesture of goodwill they would let me pay "just" the £180.This was before Serco took over.Such overwhelming kindness bought a tear to my eye.I fully intended to fight the tickets, but just having come out of hospital, I just didn't have the fight in me so I am ashamed to say I paid up and shut up |
