Boltons Non compliant bays Part 2

I forgot to mention the 1028.3 bay which Mrs Bohan referred to in her letter below, here is the reply.

Dear Ms Bohan,
Sincere apologies I neglected to reply to your comment in second paragraph , it states: would also add that Item 4 of your picture shows it is permitted to omit the word "disabled" from road marking 1028.3.
You are not wrong, however if you are going to omit the word disabled it must be replaced with 1 of 3 other permitted variants, otherwise what will the bay become, it can't be any other bay other than with the permitted variants of:
1. Buses
2. Large or slow vehicles only
3. Loading only
4. Disabled

The Permitted Variants box of a 1028.3 bay states:

Disabled may be omitted or varied to: (see 1 to 3 above)

No wording at the bay makes the bay non compliant with the TSRGD the bay you are using in Howell Croft North is a 1028.3 bay without the wording but it is currently being used as a 1032 bay because you are illegally charging motorists to park in a bay that does not exist in law, therefore you are deriving income from a non compliant bay, the proof you are doing this is the plate showing where the P&D machine is and of course the machine itself.
