From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Grace period applies in car parks too — typically 10 minutes after ticket expiry, though this varies. Some car parks use ANPR systems that automatically calculate overstay.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Returned just after expiry
- ANPR time calculation error
- Pay by phone extension failed
- Ticket machine would not accept more payment
Your rights
Check if the car park uses ANPR and request the entry/exit time evidence. Grace period may apply.
