yes, i got a parking ticket for not displaying two tickets for my motorhome which intruded on to a second bay. When I looked carefully at the notice board the notes about needing two tickets where at the bottom of a fairly large notice which rambled on about public toilets, tourist information, green spaces etc. before pointing out the parking restrictions at the very bottom. I am contesting the ticket, and £50 fine and looking for points of law on which to contest

I am not sure there are regulations in the same way that street signs have them. As I understand, the signs need to state terms and conditions, and if the information isn't clear, then a PCN could be challenged. Based purely on what you say, it sounds like the info is there, and I doubt you would win on the basis that it's not clear because there is other, unrelated info on the signs as well. You could have a go though.

 

The other thing you can do is ask the council for a copy of the Off-Street Parking Order for that car park. This will state the conditions and penalties in law, and of course the bit about needing two tickets has to be there, not just on the signs, or the PCN would be invalid. Maybe ask for a copy and let us know what it says?

RESULT! For anyone following this thread, I received a letter today from South Lakeland District Council accepting my appeal and cancelling the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)-the basis of my appeal was that the notice board adjacent to the payment meter gave too much information (about Kendal, tourist information, etc., etc., etc) with details regarding the actual parking regulation only featuring at the very bottom of the notice board. In particular I pointed out that the lead in to the parking regulations details was partially obscured by the payment machine, resulting in me having to (sort of) look behind the payment meter to fully read everything. I strongly suspect that a similar situation exists in every South Lakeland DC car park. Check it out if you get a ticket or consider an appeal if you have already received one. Good luck and thanks to anyone who has taken an interest in my case.
