Council Issued Parking Fine

Good Afternoon All,
Whilst I am used to contesting private car parking fines and using the information on the sticky thread to do so I am unsure what to do with a recent Council issued PCN.

The location of the 'contravention' I have been parking at for 20 years and never recieved a ticket until now.

There are signs around nearby pathways near to where I parked which make sense as to not block the area for traffic to pass through but not directly at the specific place I parked.

The date I parked was 14th January and recieved a ticket on my windscreen. I appealed on the 5th February as keeper not driver that there was not sufficient signage in view within the images provided with the PCN.

I received a response on the 22nd March dismissing my appeal stating I cannot appeal again until the Notice to Owner has been issued. This was issued to the lease company on 29th April requesting payment by 30th May and a response to appeal within 28 days (I received on 13th May)

I have today received another Notice to Keeper via the lease company dated 20th May requesting payment by 20th June or to appeal with 28 days. Not sure why it's been resent before the original has expired.

Representation should be submitted directly via the council website. What is the best way to do this considering my initial appeal was rejected? I have images of the area I parked which show there isn't a sign specifically at that spot with other cars parking there.

Your best option is to post your query over on the ftla parking forum after reading their posting requirements there, in the council section
