Overview
Parked in a bay in a car park reserved for a specific vehicle type — such as motorcycles, disabled bays, or parent and child spaces.
From the warden's perspective
Warden's note
Parent and child spaces are often not civilly enforceable (depends on whether the council has made a TRO for them). Disabled bays in council car parks are enforceable. Motorcycle bays are enforceable.
Common mistakes
Grounds councils sometimes get wrong — worth checking against your PCN and evidence pack.
- Parent and child space — may not be legally enforceable
- Signage not clear
- Disabled bay — Blue Badge not displayed
- Wrong vehicle class
Your rights
For parent and child spaces specifically — check whether your council has a TRO in place. Without one, the PCN may not be valid.
