Hello


Ref : Ealing council issues a 34j "Being in a bus lane", The alleged contravention was recorded from a roadside camera


I entered  a "At all time" bus lane in order to park on a single yellow line on a weekday, at 19:04. The single yellow line section does have a restriction yellow sign (Picture attached) indication restrictions Mon-Fro 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. I therefore took that as an invitation to enter the bus lane in order to park after 7:00 pm.

There appears to be a contradiction introduced by the Ealing council. On one hand they indicate and invite drivers to park on the single yellow line after 19:00, however issue a penalty if you enter the bus lane to park the vehicle.

Can someone please advise if there are grounds to appeal?

Thanks
