Hi all,

I parked in a loading bay one Sunday when it was outside the "loading only" hours. I thought it was ok. Only found out that I was issued a parking ticket when collecting my car.

Upon inspection there were some badly faded double yellow lines within the loading bay, whilst the double yellow lines were much more solid outside the loading bay. This gave me an impression that the faded double yellow lines inside the loading bay were not in use anymore or else they would have painted them to a similar qualty of those outside the loading bay. Also, I have not come across a parking bay with double yellow lines previously. This convinced me that only the restriction that the upright sign about when is loading only was enforceable.

I wonder if I have any ground to appeal please?

Thanks

Ashley
