Overview
You returned to the same restricted parking area within the no-return period.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
CEOs note departure times. No-return periods are typically 1 hour but vary. The period runs from when you left, not when your original ticket expired. Some areas have 2-hour no-return periods — check the signs.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- No-return period not clearly signed
- Different bay on same street (may still count as same zone)
- Return period misunderstood
- CEO recorded wrong departure time
Your rights
Check the signs carefully for the no-return period. If it wasn't signed, or you parked in a genuinely different zone, challenge.
