I’ve racked up £3,000 in PCNs on the school run despite my blue badge

The article discusses a case where a disabled individual with a blue badge has accumulated £3,000 in penalty charge notices (PCNs) from Newham Council for driving into a restricted "healthy school streets zone" during the school run. The issue arose when the individual had a car accident and was provided with successive courtesy cars by their insurer, for which they purchased permits to continue accessing the restricted zone. Despite having a valid blue badge, the council continued to issue PCNs, causing significant financial burden. The article highlights the challenges faced by disabled individuals in navigating such restricted zones and the need for better accommodation of their accessibility requirements.
