Parking restriction is prescribed hours 12:00 (midday) to 1pm.
- I have received a PCN for 12:59.
- I must have literally just walked away from the car.
- (Think I may even be visible walking away in one of evidence photos).

Late photo evidence provided by issuer:
- 12:58:45 First photo evidence timestamp (no ticket yet on car).
- 13:00:04 (outside prescribed hours) last photo evidence timestamp.

Claimed observation period:
- 12:55 - 12:59 claimed observation period (stated on PCN).
- Hillingdon's Enforcement Protocol (v2.4, page 11) states code 01 minimum observation period is 5 minutes.

Were you aware of the restriction time and if so did you check the time before leaving the car.

Did you park and leave the car at once.

London Councils guidance is not to issue within the last 2 mins but this is only guidance and the document seems to have disappeared from their site.

b) Time restrictions/paid parking

Where a time restriction applies, CEOs should not issue a PCN less than two minutes before a restriction starts or less than two minutes after the restriction has expired. For example, if a restriction starts (or paid-for time expires) at 8.00am then a PCN should only be issued if the vehicle is in contravention after 8.02am. Similarly, if a restriction ends at 6.00pm then no PCNs should be issued after 5.58pm. It should be stressed that a vehicle in such a situation does not have the right to be in place for two minutes – this is not a grace period.
