  • London Borough of Enfield (25 002 395)

    Statement Not upheld Transport 02-Oct-2025

    Summary: The Council was not at fault for how it handled Mrs X’s application for a disabled parking badge. It considered the information available, processed the application and appeal in accordance with the government’s best practice guidance and made a decision which, in the circumstances, was not obviously unreasonable. As there was no procedural fault in how the Council dealt with Mrs X’s application and appeal, we cannot question its decision.
