Just moved to the area and parked on a single yellow line for a few mins on a Saturday believing it was outside of the operating hours whilst I went to grab some boxes to put in the car before leaving. I was likely waiting there for 7 or 8 mins. I received a PCN from the council and made an informal appeal which they rejected on the basis that I was parked in a CPZ however, there is no signage whatsoever to indicate that the area is a CPZ.
I appealed on the grounds that I was there for only a short while and that the CPZ signage is completely missing and therefore the operating hours of the zone could not have been known. I did not know about the existence of this website or would have come here first before the appeal.
There are no signs on the street or on entering to indicate that the area is a CPZ, on either the boundary street between zones (Elmgrove Road) or the street I use to enter the zone (Hindes Road), which is why I incorrectly assumed the lines were Monday-Friday. The information on each zone can only be found on a cumbersome to use online map.
Is it worth making a formal appeal after the receipt of the Notice to Owner? How likely is it this might end in my favour based on the inadequate/nonexistent signage?
