Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Time limit not clearly signed at entry
- ANPR error
- No observation evidence for non-ANPR car parks
Your rights
Check entry signage for the time limit. If it wasn't clearly displayed at the entrance, challenge.
