Overview
Parked in a suspended bay or space within a council car park.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Same as on-street code 21 but in a car park. Suspension notices must be clearly posted within the car park in advance.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Suspension notice not clearly displayed
- Insufficient advance notice given
- Wrong bay identified on notice
Your rights
Check whether adequate notice was given and whether the suspension notice was clearly visible within the car park.
