Good evening Stamfordman and Incandescent,
That is my view too - no sign and no double blips to indicate contravention 02 for loading/ uploading in restricted area.
Thank you for your views, I appreciate it.
Kind regards,

Going back in time I can't see any freshly painted blips and it isn't obvious there has ever been no loading here.
Traffic Signs manual says:
As the double kerb mark has only one meaning, authorities may decide that adequate guidance is given without “No loading at any time” upright signs or with fewer such signs. However, this could lead to enforcement difficulties, particularly as marks of this type usually need frequent maintenance.
Even if a sign was there this looks hopeless for Ealing.

Kerb blips are there on GSV, but VERY worn.

Is a sign needed for double-blips ?

There are no obvious kerb blips prohibiting loading in their pics and for some reason there are pics of the BB badge and clock which are not relevant for an 02 contravention.
No pic of a no loading sign too.
I'd say no contravention.
No blips clear at all on Maps view:

Dear Forum members,
I hope you are well.
The driver, a Blue Badge holder, parked on double yellow line in Canham Rd, W3 (Ealing borough) believing not to be any restrictions for loading/ unloading as there are no signposts or any kerb signs indicating such restrictions.
Looking at the time indicated in the BB and pictures taken by the traffic warden, it seems that the warden had issued the PCN within very brief moment the car being parked (10:30am to 10:31am).
I include the following:
PCN ref - AO09495858;
VRN - LV68UTB;
and the link below so that pictures taken by the warden can inform your views of potential appeal grounds.

My personal view is that Councils and their subcontractors issue such PCNs hoping and knowing that not many would appeal and even if those who appeal, some will be discouraged to continue appealing to the Tribunal by the threat of having to pay the full amount if their appeal is not upheld.
Thank you for your invaluable views.
Kind regards,
