Overview
Parked in a loading bay within a council-operated car park or off-street location during restricted hours without loading.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Same principles as on-street loading bays. Observation time applies. Car park loading bays are often poorly signed — check whether hours are clearly posted.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Insufficient CEO observation time
- Hours not clearly signed within car park
- Genuine loading activity taking place
Your rights
Request CEO observation log. If observation was insufficient or hours not signed, challenge.
