Council ticket for parking in loading bay
Didn't realise it was a loading bay, thought it was a normal 1 hour bay, due to poor markings. Was having physio and was parked there for 45minutes, kind of irrelevant. Saw the sign when I returned to the car and saw the ticket. Is this something I can fight due to poor markings or banged to rights? Any help appreciated
