    Yes, I also attached a short video clip of the sign post (as shown at end of You Tube clip) and photos of the signs.

    My receipt had been submitted previously.

    The reply I got was that I hadn't paid for that zone and the instructions are clearly stated on the signs.

    I can't believe anyone even looked at my evidence and I can not get hold of anyone to talk it through with at the council.

    My work colleague also parked next to me in that bay on the same day and also got fined but he decided to pay the initial reduced amount as was afraid of losing and having to pay more.


    So what happened when you then went to adjudication, or is that pending?

    Good to hear, keep this and any other forum posted with what happens as it will help those who find it via google

    I've started a similar thread on pepipoo as suggested.

    I've also managed to upload photos of receipt and signs there too.

    As a new user here I can't attach a link but title is:

    Is it me or are the location codes on the two signs also different?
    One says 7718 the other says 7716 and the ticket machine says 6038. When I park around the west end all the location numbers in the same vicinity match, I don't understand what you are supposed to quote here, very confusing!

    Yes, there are several different location codes covering just six bays in that short road.

    On the previous day, I parked in one of the bays at the start of the video using the code on the sign and this does cover zone B4.

    The problem I have is that code 7718 is for zone A3 but Tower Hamlets just want me to pay the fine. :mad:
