Just a final update to this particular one.
The missing blips were pivotal to them having to cancel the ticket (thanks of course to the input within this thread)

I was back there today, July was the issue, since then they have resurfaced that part of the road, at a later date they repainted the double yellow lines and in the past month they have no added the blips.
I wonder how many others have paid the fine at this particular location? I guess the local authority won't be making any refunds.
Here are the blips
