Parked for longer than permitted. This applies in a free parking space with a restriction on the length of stay. You must move your vehicle within the maximum time permitted. (Contravention Code 30)

How to have your penalty charge notice (PCN) for this parking contravention cancelled.

We may be able to assist you in having your penalty charge notice for this contravention cancelled. In order to ensure that you receive the maximum help we have developed an easy to follow 3 stage process.

-This may also include diagrams and pictures showing signage requirements etc.

Possible grounds of appeal for this contravention

1. 1. In order to be able to prove this contravention a civil enforcement officer (CEO) would need to keep meticulous notes in order to prove that the contravention occurred. It would be unlikely that you would therefore receive a parking ticket if you stayed for 25 minutes instead of twenty minutes because the parking attendant would need to make a note at the time that you arrived and as soon as the 20 minutes is up. However we suspect that some local authorities now enforce this contravention by CCTV camera.  If you make a representation along the lines that you were not parked for more than the permitted time, then the council would need to consider the notes and hand book of the parking attendant before deciding whether or not to contest your appeal.

Below we show diagrams of the signs which must be in situ by law and much more information that will help you decide whether to appeal against your penalty charge notice.

We have even summarised adjudicator's decisions where motorists have won. As this site took over a year to develop and cost a small fortune and in order to support our constant campaigning against this usually unfair assault on the motorist we ask for a small contribution to view the rest of this page and the entire site. For details of what we do for the motorist see the section on the home page. Many thanks.
