       PCN Edinburgh code 05 Parked after expiry of paid for time
   DIR By: Woodchuck

       Hey all, was advised to have a look here for some advice.
       The long and the short of it is I was given a PCN at 1511 but I
       paid for parking at 1511. I have attached the PCN and the two
       RingGo receipts.
       imageA is my original parking receipt up to 1504 and I was
       expecting to leave then but there was a change of plan. At I
       just remembered to check when the parking was expiring and
       extended at 1511 as show on imageB which is also the same time
       the PCN was issued in imageC.
       Is there any chance I could have this ticket cancelled? I can't
       find any information about the 10 minute grace period being
       applicable to Scotland so I was hoping that because both
       occurred at the same time, I might be able to do something about
       it.
       Any suggestions?
       Just had a look at the Parking Enforcement Protocol for
       Edinburgh.

       It is a bit frustrating that I have paid for parking at the same
       time the PCN was issued. I had a valid cashless parking session
       at the moment of the PCN.

       But it was not an extension, but a new session with 7 minutes
       between them. First session end time - 15.04, new session start
       time 15.11.
       I don't know if the statutory 10 minute grace period applies in
       Scotland, but I suspect not as this website seems to be saying.

       It does not apply to Scotland, but councils are still expected
       to “act fairly”. In practice this usually means 5-10 minutes
       depending on the circumstances.
