Hi All.
I live in a permit parking only area but there are 2 permits applicable for my road.
I received a PCN for having the wrong permit but the council CPZ is very confusing and from correspondence with the council, they haven't explained it well at all.
You can view their map here, search 50 Cowen Avenue (not my real door number).

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Q2XDEK5efEXD8oLf6The council have said:
"We are unable to change your zone H2 permit to zone M. All addresses in controlled parking zones are grouped together for a particular zone, in your case zone H2. The Permits Team presently cannot change the zone letter and there is currently no plan to change this. All addresses in the housing estate are registered as zone H2 permits.
There are 2 locations you are able to park with a zone H2 permit. The first is of Cowen Avenue and the other is Brigade Close Car Park. This location is found of Grange Road."When checking street view, every single bay is shown as M on the signs and I even received a PCN (which I reluctantly paid before I knew about this website).
What I don't understand is that I can't even purchase the M permit so I don't understand who they're for. A lot of my neighbours have M permits but don't know how when I've asked them.
