Ticket Issued Outside Your Parking Zone's Hours

Glasgow's parking permit zones each have their own specific hours when restrictions apply. A ticket issued outside those hours for your zone is not valid. There have been known cases of parking wardens issuing tickets in the hour after restrictions have ended, particularly in permit zones near the city centre.

Legal basis

Glasgow City Council Traffic Regulation Orders; Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984; Parking Appeals (Scotland) Regulations 2009

How to identify this in your case

Check the PCN issue time. Visit Glasgow City Council's parking zone map to identify the exact hours of operation for the zone where you were parked. If the PCN was issued outside those hours, challenge immediately.

Sample appeal wording

Dear Representations Team — Glasgow City Council, Re: PCN [NUMBER] I formally challenge this PCN on the ground that it was issued outside the hours of the applicable parking restriction. The PCN was issued at [TIME]. The restriction at [LOCATION] operates only between [HOURS] according to the time plate at the location and the applicable Traffic Regulation Order. The restriction was not in force at the time of issue. I request cancellation. Yours faithfully, [NAME]

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
