Warden's note
Payment was made but the ticket wasn't visible. CEOs are required to check thoroughly before issuing. If the ticket was valid but had slipped, provide a photo of the ticket with the timestamp and challenge.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.

- Ticket face-down or obscured
- CEO did not check thoroughly before issuing
