This surely isn't an adequate suspension sign. There's no roundel for one. Putting stickers on looks amateurish.
There are other cars in the bay which suggests it may not be always enforced.

The suspension sign looks a permanent one for events. Being bright yellow, I'm surprised you didn't notice it. Frankly, unless you can tell us more, the contravention seems to be made out. Please post the PCN all sides so we can check it for fatal errors.

You basically have to use a hosting site and then post a link.

I received a PCN for a bay suspension but despite looking up at the sign and thinking it was OK genuinely didn’t notice the sign below which is not usual for me. I would appreciate knowing if the sign for suspension is adequate and if I could challenge it. Images will not attach unfortunately. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
