It's not unheard and has to be worth the price of a stamp, eh?
Good luck if you do!

Cheers,
It's not there just for my dad it's really for anyone with a permit. My dad doesent use it unless he has to. He said there are people parked there without badges day in day out and he's only seen one person get a ticket! It is a bit of a wind up because my only other option was to block the road or drag a mattress out of the street! It's just plain unlucky I think.
If you cough straight up its £35 after 2 weeks it's £70! I could appeal but I have to be careful not to miss the window.

Granted I shouldn't have been in the space but I was there less than 5 minutes so a £70 fine seems a little harsh.
I spoke to the wardens who were only a few yards away and they said I would have to appeal. I explained that my dads disabled and I was dropping him off. They said if I photocopy the badge and say it fell off I could pay half or get it revoked. Is this true or is he just saying this to get me off his back?
I'm not going to throw my toys out the Pram and say people park up there all the time and I get done for 5 minutes although it's true. The laws the law so if I have to pay I will grit my teeth and cough up. I just wondered if anyone has successfully appealed a ticket and what they put?
My old man has let me off £100 I owe him to soften the blow but I would rather win my appeal and pay him what I owe. £70 is a fair amount of money to pay out just like that!

just wanted to clarify something, is the parking space outside your dads house actually for him? you say its outside his house, and that he is disabled (even though you werent actually dropping him off) but i thought that to have a specific place put outside the house you had to apply to the council. If the space is your fathers then its worth querying the fine, if not then you shouldnt have been parked there and should probably just pay it in fairness.

Paul, he states above that the bay is NOT for the sole use of his dad. It just happens to be outside his house

im confused then because i didnt think they put joint disabled spaces on the street outside the house, if two people qualified for a space they would put two there wouldnt they?

Disabled parking bays are never for exclusive use by the disabled person closets to the bay, even if it has been specifically marked for them to use.
Disabled parking bays can be used by anyone with a blue badge and it also doesn't matter where the blue badge was issued.
