Title: Re: N – 10 minutes overstay – unclear signage / camera issue

We need to see the PCN letter, front and back. Whether the camera is working or the rules still apply. Obviously the camera was working well enough to get you in and out. For future reference if there is no free stay on the signage the minimum consideration period is 5 minutes, 1 second more and you'll get a PCN.

Title: N – 10 minutes overstay – unclear signage / camera issue

Hi, I received this parking ticket— is there anything I can do? I was under the impression that up to 10–15 minutes wouldn’t be an issue. I understand that rules are rules, but when you’re with kids, it’s sometimes easy to miss the time 🙂

Also, the camera at the entrance of the parking was completely knocked down, and no one seemed to know whether it was working or not. From what I understand, the parking is relatively new, and many people were unsure whether it was payable or still free.

Thanks in advance!
