Hi.  I didn’t get very far.  I loaded it to Google Drive.  Now it wants me to access my account to view it?   I am not sure I want to give a third party access to my account.

I am sorry to ask if someone could kindly talk me through the procedure.

Thanks.

Thank you for doing that.  It is the correct location.    Where are the "park in marked bays only" signs?   I can't see them on the photos.

I will go over tomorrow - in daylight!

Sorry HCA I didn't see your post till this afternoon.

I went over this morning and took a couple of photos of the signage.   It didn't occur to me that you would want the other side of the road as well.   As far as I can recall there was only a 'residents permit' sign on the other side of the road.

(Okay I have tried to load the two photos, but they don't seem to be appearing).

I will say that the first one shows the parking with two wheels on the pavement sign, but underneath that is a plate for a much smaller sign, but it is empty.  That is the sign in front of my car.  Obviously I don't know if something should be there, and isn't, but there is definitely a plate for something.    The other sign is 'residents permit holders only Mon-Sat 8am until 6.30pm.

I was also battling against bright sunshine on the road.

Do you require any further information?   (I am out this evening).

You could go with the simple(no disrespect intended) argument suggested.

Maybe for later..

The single pavement parking sign is 24/7;
It conveys the meaning that vehicles MAY park (not must, may) on the footway within marked bays;
The so-called marked bays are actually parking places and are in force in accordance with their respective traffic signs;
So, what would happen if a motorist parked on the carriageway during the time the parking places are restricted? If they are 'marked bays' in the context of footway parking, then nothing is permitted, it's optional. But I bet you'd get a PCN for not parking wholly in a bay!

In short:
You parked on the footway because you assumed that as the footway parking sign applies 24/7 and the marked bays only Mon-Sat **** then, as the time was outside this period, the markings didn't apply. If the council think that the markings apply 24/7, then why have they placed signs to the contrary within these areas?

They are totally confused; the pavement parking sign is incorrect and should be removed; the signs in the parking places should be replaced with item 3 Part 4 here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/362/schedule/4/made

Almost zero

You've taken a photo of the sign from the wrong side, we need to see the sign as seen from here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zTyvLiG85opnoF5d9
