Islington - Suspended bay

Hello, again!

I have a PCN from Islington council regarding parking in a suspended bay.

I did not notice the suspended bay sign when I parked, as the bay was over 10 meters away and partially obscured by a large tree.

Any ideas on how to respond would be greatly appreciated.

I have uploaded photos, my initial response (via web form) and their response:

You need to put in some work if you want help.

Again you've posted an NTO but this time also a challenge and a rejection.

Tell us what's going on and post the docs as images so we can see them.

I've added a PDF version of my challenge to the folder.

Wondering if anyone has any good ideas for this one? I would argue that the signage was obscured by a tree from where I parked
