You can try a polite ask based on working for a resident and misunderstanding the private/public parking but this is Newham and they are unlikely to cancel. In fact they would probably have towed you had it been a car.

This is helpful to know, thanks. Shocking to hear I could have been towed if in a car though!

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your time in laying this out for me.

If you could send the exact location, we can see where the UKPC sign is exactly compared to your van0.

This is the Google Street View location:

Does that help?

I challenge this PCN on the ground of procedural impropriety :

The council will reject this, as they always do, no matter what you write. The next step after the rejection, is to appeal to the London Tribunals, but if you loose you pay double the fine. So they gamble on the fact that you won't take the chance, and they will reject your representations either way.

I like your thinking but as I said to someone else, unfortunately, given my current circumstances, I'm not in a position to take the chance that I will end up paying double the fine :(

Thanks very much for replying, I appreciate your time.

@enajila29 what is the exact nature of the work you were undertaking?

I was cleaning for one of the residents. I doubt there's an exemption for that unfortunately.

It's my nature to want to appeal but, unfortunately, given my current circumstances, I cannot take the chance that I will end up paying double the fine. For that reason it sounds as though I will have to pay it :(

@cp8759 I'd appreciate your help on this please as I need to appeal/pay by 1 November. Many thanks!

But the flats also have private car parks/parking areas, which is where the OP should have been.
I understand that now but, unfortunately, it wasn't pointed out to me by the estate office and there was no space for me to park there anyway.

OP - who were you working for and for what?
I was working for a private resident.

Not sure why the CEO has goven a photo of the UKPC sign?
Where is the UKPC sign located? Partly answeredby the plethora of signs here:

I took the photo of the UKPC sign. It was opposite the bay I was parked in.

As Stamf says, the Permit is for the private areas of the Galleons Point Estate - presumably Fishguard Way is public and Council maintained. If the whole area is the Galleons Point Estate I can understand why the 'Permit Holders Only' sign is confusing.
I didn't see any signage to make me think part of the estate is public and Council maintained. As I said in my answer to stamfordman, I thought it was all part of the Galleons Point Estate and yes, the 'permit holders only' sign is confusing.

At some point you must have passed an entering CPZ sign . . .
Unfortunately, I didn't see one. It was difficult enough trying to find the estate management office. That said, as UKPC maintain part of the area, if I had seen it, I would have thought the CPZ was referring to that.

The permit you have is for a private parking company not Newham. It seems you parked in a Newham on-street bay and not private land?

It was my first time here and I wasn't aware there was a difference, I thought it was all part of the Galleons Point Estate. Galleons Point Management didn't mention it when I collected the permit and I thought 'permit parking only' meant the permit that I had.

Do you think I can appeal on the grounds of unclear signage?

Newham Council
Alleged contravention: Parked in a residents’ or shared use parking place or zone without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying a valid physical permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for that place
Location: op1p18

I obtained a contractor’s parking permit and displayed it on my dashboard (photo uploaded to Dropbox, please see link below). However, I returned to my vehicle to find a PCN. This was a new site to me and I thought I had parked in the correct place. I was driving a transit size van and there was nowhere else to park. The permit clearly states in capitals: “DO NOT TICKET THIS VEHICLE”.

The photographic evidence shows my van clearly displaying the permit so I can’t understand why I was issued with a ticket. Please note that all the photos of my van were taken by the CEO.

The PCN and photographic evidence can be found here:

I've only just found your site so hope someone is available to help me before 1.11.24, the last date I can appeal before the fine increases.

Thanks in advance for your help. If you need further information, please let me know.
