There are two parking signs for the bay. The bay lines are poor but I don't think you'll succeed with claiming it seemed like unrestricted kerbside as you knew it wasn't - but see what others say as compliance is often determined by what it is not what you may know.

I have a residents parking permit and i parked in a bay late at night and made the mistake thinking it was a residents permit space but it was a pay by phone bay.
I can't see anything in their photos to indicate that you are in a bay of any sort. Where are the markings which should be substantially clear at the side of your car to indicate that this area is distinguished from the main carriageway?
Hi there
Here is another image 1 and 2 of when the car was originally there

If there is no way to challenge the contravention, paying the first and asking for discretion on the other two as a resident making an inadvertent error is probably the best way to go.
This is a big pay bay only in force for 2 hours.

Hi All,
Thank you in advance for any help.
I have a residents parking permit and i parked in a bay late at night and made the mistake thinking it was a residents permit space but it was a pay by phone bay.
I parked there late on the 21st July. I then received 3 seperate tickets - 22nd, 23rd, 24th - I did not realise my mistake till i went back to my car on the 25th July and had 3 seperate tickets.
I understand that the 1st pcn and mistake was mine, I was wondering if I had any chance on the 2nd and 3rd tickets since I did not go back to my car for 3 days so did not know my error and did not move the car.
