Morning all,
@cp8759 @stamfordman @Phantomcrusader @h c anderson - i've had a reply from the Council. Letter has been uploaded - see links. Content of the letter has been copied in below too.
I could simply reply and state the sign was clearly blocked by getting a clear by the large vehicle. Thoughts?

Thank you for your enquiry, which we received on 21 October 2024.
You were issued with a PCN for parking in a resident permit zone without displaying a
resident's permit or holding a valid E-Permit.
I have noted your comments and can confirm that the location where you parked your vehicle
is within the resident permit zone. Signs are in place at entry points into the zone which
advises drivers of the restrictions in place. As these restrictions are standardised within the
zone, additional signs are not needed. The way we sign the restrictions is compliant with the
current legislation .All residents and visitors must have a permit to park within the resident
permit zone during the operational hours of the scheme. It is the responsibility of the motorist
to be aware of the parking restrictions and park in accordance to them.
I have carefully considered your case and I am satisfied that your PCN was issued correctly,
and as such, I have taken the decision not to cancel it.
To view images taken at the time your PCN was issued, please visit
www.manchester.gov.uk/parking You have these choices:
1. The PCN will be reduced to £35.00 if it is paid within 14 days from the date this letter was
served.
2. If you do not pay the PCN within 14 days of this letter being served, the charge will
increase to £70.00.
3. If the PCN is not paid or successfully challenged, the Council may serve a Notice to Owner
(NtO) after 28 days of the PCN being served on the owner of the vehicle requiring payment of
the full PCN. The owner can then make representations to the Council and may appeal to an
independent adjudicator if those representations are rejected. The NtO will contain
instructions for doing this.

www.manchester.gov.uk/parking and follow the links to Pay PCN. - By telephone credit/debit card payments only. Use our automated payment line 0161 234
