Incorrect info on parking fine.
I got a parking fine tonight when I parked on some waste ground next to the chinese I was popping in to for some grub. Bad luck aside, when I look at the ticket it says it happened at 12.43 which is clearly not true. Is this something I can challenge on? And also it says I got it for parking adjacent to a dropped footway,…

Parking in a CPZ - appeal?
Hi all Last Wednesday I got a ticket for parking in a CPZ within restricted hours. It's a fair cop in that the signage WAS clear at the entrance to the CPZ, and I simply didn't see it. However, I had parked there while going to a restaurant with a friend who was on crutches. This CPZ was the nearest place I could park to…

tickets 2 mins into restricted time
Is there any defense I can use if I was ticketed for being in a restricted zone on a yellow line for 2 mins to long. The restriction was from 11am, and I had parked there at 10am and arrived apparently 2 mins too late - I thought I was on time. I was observed from 11:01 to 11:02 (which in itself might only mean 2 seconds…

People who do not visit this forum) I wonder how low the percentage of payers/ mugs would have to be before the PPC's found that it was no longer worth their while to…
