Wrong town on Parking ticket. How do I fight it???

government_slave

Hi
Son got a parking ticket for half parking on double yellows [yes i know but its hard to find anywhere around here to park]. :mad:
Anyway the ticket was for a**** street, pembroke however there is no a**** st in pembroke it is pembroke dock and that is where the ticket was issued.[only it says pembroke on ticket]
also she only waited 4 mins before issue thought i she had to wait 10mins but i may be wrong.

Therefore the ticket is incorrect how do you go about fighting it for beinging wrongly written out???

Thanks in advance...

It would seem that you have a very good case for "Contravention did not occur"
however if you were to post both sides of the ticket here hopefully someone with more knowledge then I will be along soon to help.

Some councils tell their wardens to wait a period of 5 minutes before they issue a parking ticket, but this figure can:

a) be less or more depending on the council

b) in some councils, be down to the discretion of the parking attendant (therefore don't have to by law wait...)

The best way to find out is look at your council (Pembroke?) parking regulations (i'm not sure what the actual name is of the document or where you can find it, but google's a good place to start!).

With respect to the location, are Pembroke and Pembroke dock different areas? Or is Pembroke dock in Pembroke..?
