My issue is that it still a parking bay. No markings have changed and the parking bay restrictions on the sign have not changed. The white line has been there over 18 months and the painted writing only 4 weeks

To note, I was parked in the bay and not on the white line To note, I was parked in the still marked parking bay and not on the white line where we assumed the writing related to is

Thanks Michael. I have asked them for this information. In regards to the penalty charge . The discount period has been extended 14 days from the council reply and rejection of my appeal. How do I extend this further or seek independent review?

Evening I was issued with a PCN a few weeks ago for no 25 parking in a loading bay,,however, this is a more complicated story 1)There are 3 time restricted parking spaces outside our flat complex Mon-Sat , parking limited to one hour between 8.30am-6pm and no return for 2 hours. This is fine as many residents use the spaces outside of these times. It has been parking spaces for over 10 years 2)There is a catering shop opposite the flats that has a loading door and about 18 months ago they had a white line painted across the loading bay doors. Again this was fine and the shop closes at 5pm and 3 parking spaces remained the same 3)Two weeks ago we noticed that one of the residents was issued a ticket on a Friday morning and the traffic warden pointed out that its now a loading bay,,the council had now painted "loading area" horizontal to the end of the white line for the catering shop 4)There are no other changes to the 3 spaces, no new signs and the same 8am-6pm parking restrictions so we assumed it was a misinformed traffic warden and guess what, yes I got a ticket myself at 10.27am on a Saturday after 6 mins observation..Now I should of maybe got a PCN for parking for over an hour (I slept in) ;-) but it was a infringement 25 loading rule! 5) So, the council responded to my appeal (Council Parking Officer)who totally disregarded my concerns and said new rules mean "loading area" painted on the floor is sufficent and there is no time restriction so its 24 hours,,so why is not stated 24 hours anywhere and why should I know the Dept Transport new rules and given a resident using these spaces for years how would we assume the change if no-one warned us. Even the catering shop is not happy as 4 customers have had tickets so it seems the council have just used this as cash cow opportunity and I have not yet been offered to appeal through an Independent person? 6- See pics
