I was back within the hour. But I didn’t use the RingGo app as I thought my permit covered where I was parked…

How long did you park for. The first hour is free in Redbridge.

I just thought once I was inside the permit area (which I was) it would be ok…

It's a permit parking area so you could park anyway on unmarked kerbside with the right permit.

Non-permit holders can park in signed bays and it looks like you parked in a pay bay. If it were a shared use bay (permit and pay) you would have been OK.

Redbridge doesn't use much discretion these days so is unlikely to cancel this but worth a try.

Hi all

I just took my son to the doctors and thought I had parked where my annual parking permit was valid. I find the signage in the area confusing and dont think it is fair that I have a parking ticket on return to my car. Is there anything I can raise here to challenge ? I have included the PCN tomorrow and the signage where I parked and further down the road. I dont think it is clear that my permit is not valid where I parked . I have included further signage a bit further along the road which also in my view makes it more complicated to find parking then it should be...

The google Streetview is from Sept 2024, has the sign for the bay but not with the permit sign which was put there is this year when the permit scheme was introduced.

The last 2 photos are from further down the road. Its very confusing. Any advice would be appreciated. Want to avoid an expensive doctors visit for my sick 9 year old if I can. If you need any further info please reply.

Thanks
