    I'm afraid can't see Bransby-Wilson on the sign. This is the closest sign to the bay, which is not even facing the bay.

    Only other sign was a small disabled sign approx. 15x15cm, in a height of 1m, hidden behind another parked car.

    There are no signs at the entrance. It's large parking for Tesco Extra and for about 4 other retailers including Aldi, Boots and Homesense. This sign above is once of probably 6 signs across the whole site.

    OK, so this can be appealed if you get pics of the signs. You need:

    - a view taken from the disabled bays, showing a lack of t&cs readable from the car seat.

    - a pic of the nearest sign that we bet ISN'T in the accessible bay area. A close up of all words.

    - a pic of the entrance, plus any 'P' entrance sign.
    So you still need to get the rest of the above. You were not advised to just get a pic of signs. Building compelling evidence is much more which is why I bullet-pointed it all, to be clear.

    In fact a close up of the sign is the last thing you need!

    You want wide views at / approaching the entrance. You are telling us there is no entrance sign but I say there will be. It has a 'P' on it.

    You also need the views of all signs & lines taken both/all directions from standing in an accessible bay.

    Take at least 5 or 6 images of that 360 degree viewpoint and ideally another pic with a car in it and including the run of parent & child bays, to show it looks like one of them.

    Where is it? Google Streetview link?

    Can't see any signage on show there, BUT, those GSV pictures are 7 years old, so things have likely changed significantly. Are you close by? If so, please take some of your own. 
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    I managed to take some photos, hope these make some sense. There is a new-ish sign at the entrance, I never noticed it before, as its at the entry roundabout which is very busy. But I was looking for it this time.

    Yes they are good pictures for POPLA stage except don't use the one that shows the surface marking on the ground in close up.
