Yes davidf I went to look before we left. At the bottom it did say disabled drivers got an extra hour for payments but I thought that meant on top of the 3 hours free that normally apply with a badge. I think when a place has had free parking for years they should have put up notices that could not be missed. At this rate there is going to be no advantage at all having a Blue badge. On reading the summons I saw that if the fine was paid within 14 days the fine was reduced by 50% so I got a cheque off for £25 because knowing my luck if I tried disputing it the 14 days would go by and I would end up paying the full amount. We will put it down to experience and make sure we read the board by the pay meter in future.
