I am looking for some help please.

I recently had my car towed by Hackney Borough Council (or an agency working on their behalf) for parking in a suspended parking bay.

The background is that in Hoxton Square, there was a parking suspension advertised around the railings to be between 25th and 28th May. Given the date I was parking was the 30th May, I assumed that the suspension had now lapsed. So of course I was mightily surprised to find my car vanished (as well as some other people parking in the same predicament) when I returned.

Of course to get your car back, you have to pay the fines and charges, a cool £240.00 in total.

The reason my car was towed is mounted at 2m on a lamppost was a sign informing that the suspension was running until 23:59 on the 30th May.

I have appealed to Hackney but it has been rejected, I will appeal again in the basis that the prominent suspension signs displayed were for contradictory dates to those on the smaller sign on the lamp-post. I simply did not see the sign on the lamp post and took the information on the railings at face value (I have images of the signs)

Any in appealing this decision is welcome!!

See attached the original PCN + Council photos

The basis of my appeal is that although the sign on the lampost shows the date up to 23:59 on the 30th May (they towed me at 22:03 on the 30th May), the signs attached to the railings at ground level state the suspension finished on the 28th May.

I saw the signs on the railings and saw no reason to check with the lamppost as the date was clearly stated on the railing signs around the entire square that the suspension finished on the 28th May.

I have images showing this, but I have exceeded the upload limit.

As per the Worthing case does the TMO allow a suspension for filming purposes?

Otherwise if the OP can provide evidence that another sign misled him then IMO the Council's position is compromised.

Any photos of the contradictory sign?
ATM we have the CEO photo that puts you bang to rights. Or seems to.

With two differing signs in separate places the council do not have a leg to stand on.
But proof would be good.

Also copy of your challenge and the rejection please
