    So far from the best picture, but you can see the grey/grey box on the left hand side of the car - and then orientate that onto the daytime street view to place the car

    So it was here then, not even in Gidding Road which starts behind the white "Notice":

    These even shows the area where it turns into a private road:


    SIP are operating on a council owned road (Great Street) which even has two council signs at the top as you turn in and obviously no PPC signage as it is non relevant land. They need reporting for this!

    Couldn't agree more!  
    According to the council, Great Street is incorrectly named and is actually a continuation of Giddings Road. I have their email on this. Either way, it's still a council road and NOT somewhere I should have had a parking fine from SIP.     We've been to court before, so I'm more than happy to attend and press the point in front of the judge!

    The 20 sign is on the grass verge, so it must be council land.

    I'd check their two signs have planning permission with the council.

    That's a different fight - and whilst I am no fan of these cowboys, I'm only in it to defend my particular case and move on.  However, all good information for my witness statement & evidence - so thank you!
