Parking fine - worth contesting?

[Blackpool]

Hello all.

 

I received a parking fine today for parking in a marked bay in the street over the allotted time. The plate said two hours - i was ticketed for being ten minutes over.

 

The penalty notice had all the correct details, registration, tax disc etc, but next to colour it said 'other'

 

I drive a Ford Focus, which is a very popular car, and it's a standard factory colour. My question is, is it worth contesting on this minor point or shall i just bite the bullet and hand payment over to them?

 

Many thanks in advance for any advice / suggestions.

Colour is not a statutory requirement, so not grounds for appeal.

The PCN itself may be faulty.

 

 

post both sides as per here:

Scan the document into your computer and open it in Paint or similar program. Edit out the personal information and identifying numbers etc.

 

Save it as a jpeg file

Open an a/c on Photobucket, (here: Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket ),or Tinypic here: (TinyPic - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting )

 

Click the "upload image" box and browse to find the file of your scanned jpeg on your hard disk

 

It will then upload the image to Photobucket and it will show you thumbnails of the images you have uploaded. Under each image there are links that you can copy and paste.

 

Copy and paste the IMG Code link from Photobucket to the reply box on your thread here, which will look like this:

 

When you submit the reply, the text will change into the image you uploaded onto Photobucket.
