PCN for parking 7 minutes before CPZ allowed (Scotland)
DIR By: mcllsti

---------------------------------------------------------
Hey folks,
Looking for a touch of advice on this one. Pulled up at 9:20 and
thought nothing of it since parking was allowed within 10
minutes. I then come back later and it looks like I got a
parking ticket at 9:23.
Location: South Lanarkshire, Glasgow
Reason: parking/loading in a Controlled Parking Zone out with
the alloted time
Looking around I am sure there must be some ability to appeal
this on some grace period or how close it was to the allowed
parking time. I am just unsure how I can word this.
I also noticed the lines are fairly faded here as well which I
could contribute to it.
Any suggestions would help alot folks!

Apologies, I am slapping myself for missing that somehow.
I will abandon this topic and when I return home will go post a
new one that adhere to the guidelines

Short Summary From My Side:
I pulled up at around 09:15 BST and had not noticed that I was
parked in the single yellow line zone since it was faded and I
was in a rush. I also did not notice the sign which was pointed
towards the pavement. I know neither of these are any form of
defense, just adding detail. I recieve the Penelty Charge Notice
at 09:22 and the Evidence is marked as at 09:23. That is 7
minutes before the parking allowed in the zone which is maybe my
main formulation behind this since in a 10 minute grace peroid,
I would have no longer been parking outside the restricted
times. I actually had returned to my car by 09:40.
[b]What I Am Looking For:
I am hoping someone could give me some advice on how to approch
this and if my grace peroid 10 minutes even makes sense. I have
started trawling through legislation to see if its codified
anywhere but its slow progress considering I am not used to the
language. I have fought private tickets in the past but I am
finding the council issued PCN to be a whole other kettle of
fish. I dont want to go ahead and write out my appeal until I
have a better understanding so if anyone could help with that
insight or where to go that would be good. Then I can write my
appeal and maybe have someone give it a once over. £50 is
unfortunately a lot of money for me just now.
I appreciate any help given.

I don't know if the 10 min statutory grace applies in Scotland
but in any case you've misunderstood when it applies - it's only
after you've been parked in a paid or unpaid parking place.
In your case you just parked on a yellow line during the
restricted time.
It is true that in London there is or has bee guidance not to
issue within 2 mins of a yellow line restriction ending or at
start of one beginning but you are way outside this.

That is pretty unfortunate! I thought it was general but that
makes a bunch of sense considering what I have read so far.
I guess in this instance I really dont have much of a leg to
stand on which is painful. For a full 7 minutes! I cant see any
other real aspect I could bring up.
