Hi,
My ticket is an official council on street parking fine , not a private parking charge? My question is the rumoured 10 minute Grace accurate? I left my car to get change from a shop (I was unable to use mobile payment at the time. On return I found a parking ticket. The ticket details the time vehicle was first observed and the ticketed time. The time between observation and ticket is six minutes? Will I likely have grounds for appeal on this basis?

Since we specialise in private parking charges here on MSE, you would be better taking this over to our friends on pepipoo.com as they are the council and police motoring experts. Please note that when you register, a Hotmail account won't work.
Read the FAQs first then post both sides of your redacted PCN with your query on the appropriate council section of the forum.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.
