Inadvertently parked in Residents Only

Hi,

I am community midwife and today whilst out on my visits I mistakenly parked in a residents permit only road. I did not see any signs until I looked for them after coming back to my car to find the PCN.

I do have a midwife on call sign and a healthcare workers green cross badge and time clock (the badge is fixed to my windscreen). However, I was not displaying the clock or the midwife on-call sign as I did not realise it was a restricted area.

I have emailed to appeal. What do you think my chances of having my appeal upheld are? What should my next course of action be if not? :o

    Could you confirm that the road was owned by the council and that it is a council ticket.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    I assume its a council road and the ticket is a council one as I have had to email the local council to appeal

    I'm sure the experts will be along soon.

    OP, please read the sticky on the front of this board, and follow the instructions.

    No one can advise you without knowing what kind of ticket it is. If it's a council ticket we need to it - all of it.

    It was issued by Torbay Council if that is any help
