Council PCN - Parking in suspended bay - unclear signage

21 PCN - London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham
On 30th April I parked on a road with signs for parking being suspended. I looked at the nearest notice (which was on the other side of the road) and it said that parking was suspended from the 8th of May. Further down the road (on the side that I was parked on) there were additional notices, which as it turned out said parking was suspended in the spaces I was in from 30th April.
I received a 21s PCN for parking in a suspended bay.
I would say that this is unclear signage. The sign a couple metres from my car did not say parking in that space was suspended, but the sign maybe 20 metres away said it was. It seems unreasonable to expect people to look at anything other than the nearest sign.
A local resident told me she did not think any of these signs were there last week, but I can't imagine there's any way of proving that.
Is this a good enough reason for an appeal to be granted? Any suggestions on what to say in my appeal beyond the above?
Many thanks for your help
