Council car parks ticket machines often out of order

We seldom get wardens checking out local council car park, which is a good thing because quite often the ticket machines are broken, keep your money but don't give tickets.
What would happen if wardens did come round when this has happened to us and we weren't displaying though?

Who knows? Some, if they know the machines are broken might not, some who know the machines are broken might, some who assume the machines are working might not, some who assume the machines are working might. Take your pick.
Council tickets are appealable and are winnable. Read threads on PePiPoo to learn more.

If you were short-changed by the machines, or something similar, then you do as I did when this happened to me. I called the number of the machine, and explained the situation. They logged it. When I returned to my car festooned with a penalty charge, I appealed and explained the situation. Because they had logged it, it was an easy win for me.What would happen if wardens did come round when this has happened to us and we weren't displaying though?0 -
