This picture showing the road marking are mainly gone would be better..
When they did them new patches of tarmac they should have repainted the disabled writing
Is this disabled parking space official?

The word disabled does not have to be present on the road - so I don't think there are grounds to contest

contest it anyway
Would that be on the basis that the lines indicating the bay are broken rather than the missing wording? as it says,
Disabled bays must have a white bay and be accompanied by a sign. The minimum length of the bay is 6.6m. The word ‘Disabled’ on the road and can be included or omitted.

Because the terms of the disabled badge allows them to park on double yellow lines. Charge them for parking and they'll simply do that, so its counter productive.

Did you bang your head on the pole of the sign as you got out your car
4 of us were reading it and we all thought it was for the whole street since it's not clearly marked on the road.
The worst thing is that the car park next to the pub had a broken ticket machine but I refused to put a note in my windscreen because I was positive we'd still come back to fines, so I parked on the road and paid for a ticket.
That must be an old picture because there are no words on the road
That probably seals it.
Thanks
With paid parking
Do you need to get out of your car,go buy ticket and then put it back in your car on the dashboard ???
(i No have paid parking where i live)
Not all double yellow lines are in places where its dangerous to park. Many are in areas where they don't want people parking for other reasons - clutter of cars, areas where the council doesn't want people parking free but doesn't want to have a parking meter, etc etc.
It allows them to do that because they are disabled and although you and me can park further away from where we want to go, they often dont have the choice.
All four of you were being a bit dim then really

You haven't read the sign which says 'Disabled Badge Holders Only, Free Parking'.
I have two disabled badge holders in my band and they also read the sign that they could park anywhere up that street without buying a ticket.
Of course I read the sign.
I then engaged my brain and concluded that:
a) it would make absolutely no sense for a whole street to be free for disabled badge holders, especially if it wasn't sign posted very clearly (as in all the way down the road)
b) all of the disabled parking signs on normal roads that I have ever seen have been placed in front of the actual space
c) the space is probably empty for a reason and the sign post is there to give you an idea of why
If the whole street was, for some bizarre reason, free for disabled badge holders, why would they put the sign at one end of the street?
