Parking ticket inaccurate charge

I've just got a parking ticket for parking on double yellow lines, fair enough, my fault. But on the ticket it says the offence was to be "parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours" (there's a school with zig zags nearby ... I wasn't on those). Can I contest the ticket on the grounds that this is an inaccurate charge?

Pay up then take the matter up with the parking adjudicator afterwards.
