Thank you very much for all your advise. I will contact the Council tomorrow to request photos and post again when I have further info. Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for your response. The pcn was issued by Nottingham City Council (working in partnership with NSL services group.)

Hi, I'm new here. I came looking for help for my daughter. She has just returned from a trip to Nottingham Broadmarsh Shopping Centre, having paid £4.80 for 3 hours parking. When she returned to her car, she had a parking ticket for £50 that stated "parked beyond the bay markings". Unfortunately she didn't think to take a photograph but she is adamant that all 4 wheels were within the bay and the only part of the car outside the bay, was a slight overhang of her front bumper. I have telephoned Nottingham City Council this evening but was told that all employees in the relevant department, had gone home (4.45 p.m.) My question is, is it the wheels or the bodywork that are taken into account when deciding if a vehicle is outside the bay and is my daughter entitled to ask for photographic proof of the violation. Many thanks for any help that you may be able to give.
