No, not without evidence of the offence.

did you break the parking rules or not?
have they evidence of it?

if yes to both you should pay.

yes. Tickets are not put on windscreens anymore

they generally seem to take photos now. No doubt they'd provide these if you want to challenge it but the costs may add up.

Take it to court.
Let us know how you get on.

Yup, happening a lot with eejits parking all over the place, hindering access for rescue services.

Just pay up and move on.

Surely the parking ticket itself has to give basic details such as date, time and location the offense was committed in? If there were obviously wrong then you could challenge it.

No where, OP is very sparse on detail. I was more curious as to what a parking ticket entailed if you don't get warning of it's issuance at the time.

Street, date and time of the offence will be on it.

In the old times the ticket was put on the window but now its just posted out. People get confused because they still think they go on the window. Thus in parking / cycling threads you will see people moan about lack of enforcement as a result of no visible ticket

Guards or traffic wardens aren’t obliged to put a ticket on vehicle. I received a ticket in. my local town last week for exceeding time limit €40 and first I knew of it is when I got it in post a few days later .

I paid it in local council office and girl there was able to show me photos of my car taken by warden and asp show me times he recorded my number and time he issued ticket ..

She said it’s up to warden if he puts tickets on windscreen but with covid they seem to just record and let it go by post. I’ll be more careful in future with my free 2 hr parking..

Work colleague had one come through the door, her husband reckoned they dont take them seriously and not to pay. She didnt. 2 months later another letter this time the fine was higher, not sure if it was doubled but it was more because she didnt pay originally
