Ouch you've dropped a big one there mate, when the Council said they were going to suspend you you should have said right I'm going to appeal against your decision, they have to give you your badge back while the appeal is going through, if your appeal fails at the Council take it to the Magistrates Court, in the meantime your allowed to drive while your appeal is going through.
Our lot tried suspending me back in 1993 I did the above and won.
Council can now suspend a licences even if you or to appeal, if they think you are a danger to the public.
that would mean that you could not drive until the out come of the appeal. unlike before you could continue to drive while you were waiting for your appeal.
