Hi everyone.
I live in an apartment block with limited parking, as such a lot of the residents park on the road outside of our apartment (20-30 cars are parked there day and night)
On this road there are "no parking" signs on one side of the road, along with double red lines. On the other side, there are no yellow or red lines, and no "no parking" signs.
People have been parking here since the apartments were build, I believe around 7 years ago. As of yesterday, many of us received one ore more "parking charge notices" from Parkingeye out of the blue, apparently there were ANPR cameras there all along but they haven't been switched on until last week.
My car was parked on the side of the road with no lines, I've received the one "parking charge notice" so far. I haven't responded to them yet. Letter is attached, it states that I was there for 17 hours and that I was parking without authorisation on a private road.
I won't be parking on this road anymore, but I would like to appeal the charge.
Is the fact that there are no double yellow/red lines on the road something I can use in an appeal?
There are double red lines on both sides, but it starts much further up the road (see photo labelled 4)
The signs are also confusing as it's not clear where the "service road" begins and ends (at the beginning of this road is the main entrance to a huge retail park). There are actually two different signs, and the one at the start of the road has different wording and mentions not parking where there are yellow lines (see photo labelled 3)
I also don't believe the photos in the letter show the car parked, it just shows it driving in down the road one way on the 4th Aug, then driving the other way on the 5th of Aug.
Here is the road in question:

Here are images of the road, a map, and the letter:

There are at least 10 other apartment residents in the same position as me so I'll be helping to appeal theirs as well.
