Parking ticket query?

[Bristol spark]

Got a ticket earlier while parked for 5 mins while picking something up from screwfix.

I may have been parked on double yellows (only 3 bays in the carpark) , however the ticket says parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours?

There are no time restrictions, just double yellows. Its an industrial park, so god no why...

Anyway, do i have any grounds to appeal this considering no prescribed hours??

If the google image link above is still correct there's plenty of street parking without yellow lines. You must have parked on one of the corners where the lines have been painted to prevent obstruction to access and egress from the car parks. Looks like you parked like a muppet so whinging about it here is a bit much really?

There is never any legal road spaces available during the day (i guess staff to all the units use them) so only option if car park is full is to park on the yellows, or wait on the yellows for someone to leave....

Anyway its only £35, and ultimately less than that as will be a business expense, so no great deal.

Was just questioning the wording.

AIUI fines aren't tax deductible.

That is NOT what he said is it?

Not exactly, even if can't offset it against corp tax bill (thats up to my accountant), its still rather preferable for my business to pay it rather than me personally...
