I received a ticket for allegedly parking in a loading bay during restricted hours. At the time I believed I was parking in a pay and display bay due to the confusing road markings and distance from the loading bay sign. I also paid for a valid pay and display ticket via the parking app for the duration of my stay.
The restricted hours are between 7am and noon after which the bay becomes a pay and display bay. However, where I have parked the car, there is clearly a line separating the bay from what I assumed to be the loading bays. I have appealed the PCN on that basis but received a letter to confirm that the ticket will not be cancelled.
I have attached photos and PCN below. I'd appreciate you're valued thoughts and opinions as to whether this is worth pursuing.
Thank you
