I was slapped with ludicrous parking fine despite having blue badge on show – I’m fuming

A BLUE badge holder has been left furious after receiving a fine for parking in a disabled bay.

Louise Reilly, from Glasgow, was slapped with a penalty after she stopped at Marks and Spencer at Braehead Shopping Centre.

She was baffled to receive a parking charge notice from Premier Park through her door following her visit, despite her blue badge sitting on her dashboard.

She told Glasgow Live: “I was sent a lovely parking charge notice with a picture of my blue badge visible.

“You could quite clearly see the badge sitting on the dashboard.

“The fine was sent to me because I had parked in the bay without displaying a disabled badge, which was nonsense because they sent me a picture of my disabled badge.

“Popping my badge on the dashboard has become second nature to me.”

Louise, who was issued with the badge in 2015, filed an appeal online but she says she was ignored for weeks.

She only discovered the fine had been cancelled after refreshing the Premier Park website constantly.

She added: “I was so angry.

“They had clearly seen the disabled badge because they took a photo of it and I was clearly within the boundaries.

“It was such nonsense. I couldn’t get my head around the fact I was told that failed to show my disabled badge even though it was displayed.

“I put in the appeal and heard absolutely nothing.

“Five weeks later I went back to download the parking charge notice and was told it had been cancelled.”

Premier Park was approached for comment.
