Hello again!
I wonder if anyone can kindly offer some advice with a recent ticket I picked up in a backroad in Kensignton and Chelsea?
I parked my car in a residential area: 112 Princedale Road (Google link: http://tinyurl.com/oqyzf2k ). The road on both sides was fairly empty and finding a space wasn't hard. As I got out of my drivers side of my car I saw a sign for the ticket machine on wall across the road (see pic).
The machine must have been about 30ft from my car. Over the course of four hours I duly paid £8.80 (ow!) to park and had the tickets displayed on my dash. They second ticket expired at 18:02.

At 18.00 I came back to find a ticket on my car, issued at 17.59 (no warden in site)
It appears I have been charged for using a Pay and Display ticket in a permit bay. This was obv not intentional.
I've added a picture of my car and how it was positioned. I've also added a picture of the layout of the road (from Google maps) that shows how I was parked.
I found (#facepalm) that on my side of the road there were indeed a sign attached to a post that signified Resident Parking. However, this wasn't clear because it faced out directly onto the road by the kerbside. You can't see it unless you're actually standing in the carriageway. And they are impossible to see from the path because they face out.
I've now been landed with £65 fine (plus the £9 I seemingly wasted on my ticket).
Here is the PCN:
Can anyone offer some suggestions for appealing this or any other action? It would be greatly and sincerely appreciated.
