Warden's note

Same principle as code 06. If the ticket was valid but fell or was obscured, provide the ticket as evidence with your appeal.

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

  • Ticket fell from dashboard
  • Ticket face-down
  • CEO did not check properly
