A client of mine has handed me a folder of unpaid PCN's that he contest every one of! 
I have started wading through them and most of them look like the vehicle was loading into the place they were working (cleaning firm).
One of them is for parking in a disabled bay with no badge.
The photo my client has given me does show a worn bay and the writing isn't very clear at all.
I wrote to the council stating this and I have received a reply today saying that "The council cannot be expected to keep all lines and writing in pristine condition" now as much as I think my client should pay!! The person who has replied to me is wrong I think.
I thought that the council DID have to keep bays etc in a reasonable (readable) state of repair for the fine to be enforceable?
I know there have been test cases on this but for the life of me I cannot remember where I saw them.
Can anyone help?
