I got a parking ticket for parking on street. I paid but not before a rapacious traffic warden slapped a ticket on after 'observing' my vehicle for 5 minutes. I appealed to the council (they said it was an informal representation) but they said the PCN was correctly issued...
I know you get 10 minutes grace period after your ticket expire but what is the grace period to purchase a ticket? Is it worth appealing to Parking Adjudicator?
Thanks.

I don't know if it's a good reason but it took me some time to get my two kids (4 and 1) out of the car, cross the road, and go into a shop so I could use the WiFi to purchase ticket.Brie said:is there a good reason it took you so long to pay?No one has ever become poor by giving1 -
Part of the reason is I also thought I had 10 minutes grace period to purchase a ticket...Brie said:is there a good reason it took you so long to pay?

Ask on FTLA forum as it's a Council PCN.PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
