       PCN overstaying at Costa Coffee Green Meadow, Pontyclun
       By: Y Cymro Date: March 11, 2026, 6:07 am

       Hello
       On 15th Feb the driver drove into the Costa Coffee, Pontyclun
       car park, found a parking space and entered the coffee shop with
       two friends.  No parking signs were noticed by this group, and
       they weren’t advised of any parking restriction by staff of the
       coffee shop.  The group left the coffee shop more than two hours
       later and drove away.
       This morning I, as registered keeper received through the post a
       PCN sent for over-staying at the Costa Coffee car park in
       Pontyclun.  The PCN is attached and the images show that a car
       bearing my car’s registration number entered the car park at
       11:44:54 and left at 14:06:27, a period of 2h23m.  The PCN
       states that the maximum stay is 1h30m after which a parking
       charge will be applied.
       On the PCN it states that the stay was on the 15th February, and
       that the PCN was issued on the 19th Feb.  It was received by me
       today 11 March, almost 3 weeks after it was issued, and outside
       the 14 day discounted period.
       The driver plans to drive to Costa Coffee and ask that the PCN
       be cancelled.  They will also photograph the car park area and
       any signage.
       I’d appreciate your help as to the next steps.
       Thank you.

       Yes, best bet is to go back to Costa and speak to the manager.
       Do you have ant receipts or bank details?

       Yes, bank statement and transaction shows in Costa ‘loyalty’ app
       (ironically)
