Overview

Parked in a disc parking zone without displaying a properly set parking disc.

From the warden's perspective

Warden's note

Disc parking is less common now but still exists in some areas. The disc must show arrival time. CEOs check whether the disc is correctly set and whether the permitted time has expired.

Common mistakes

Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.

  • Disc not set to arrival time
  • Disc face-down or not visible
  • Disc expired
  • Area no longer disc zone but old signs remain

Your rights

If disc markings or signs are outdated or unclear, challenge on signage grounds.
