Didn’t know, so looked it up (on the day in question I trusted my neighbour who was sure it was not time limited). Coped from t’interweb :
Your Blue Badge usually lets you park for free:
-on streets with parking meters or pay-and-display machines for as long as you need to
-in disabled parking...
True......
I’ve just had a battle over a ticket myself at Lewes Station. Can’t work out why (and they never explained) they issued a ticket as I was legally parked (in a disabled bay, with my neighbour’s blue badge correctly displayed as I took him to the Man City game). Luckily I had a text...
Doesn’t sound hopeful to me......you parked for 20 mins without getting a ticket....if everyone who popped to the shops in most towns did that.....not sure the phone call has any relevance really. Hopefully one of the PCN experts on here will find a way out of it for you though.
