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

A disabled bay needs to have the road marking.
See TSM Chapter 3 page 60 and in particular section 7.18
