Had a notice of rejection of challenge from council.
My question is.. is there any point in taking it to appeal?

My argument was:

Parked on single yellow line because
1. there were cars parked the whole length of the road (with no tickets)
2. the signs I could see clearly stated 2 hours parking allowed

Came out of cafe to PCN on windscreen.
Looked at the other cars. No tickets. ??
No blue badges, no-one loading.

I found a little yellow sign high on a telegraph pole, slightly faded and twisted. The signs I had originally read were for the other side of the road.

I know yellow lines are restricted
I know number 1 above means nothing, but because I read the signs and saw all the cars parked there, it seemed obvious that it was OK to park there for 2 hours (particularly if one is a bit divvy for various reasons). In my defense, it was also pouring with rain.

So, the only possible legal argument could be the positioning of the sign (one would have to be standing in the road to read it) and the size of the lettering - for busy roads the TRGDS state bigger lettering should be used).

What say you? Pointless and pay the smaller amount of £45?

Can attach pics if its not a clear cut "don't be silly".

Many thanks
