Parking Ticket

I have received a parking ticket for parking on a disabled space.

However I did not know this was disabled space as there was no road markings. I have a permit for this street as I live close by and obvioulsy would have not parked there if I knew it was a disabled space as parking is free for me anyway.

I have since noticed there is a "disabled badge holder" sign next to this space.

I am not worried about paying the £30 however do I have a 'leg to stand on' in my defense there was no road markings when there should have been. Is it worth an appeal.

Thanks
Steven
