Parking ticket - help!

I got a parking ticket today in Glastonbury. I parked in an outlined bay with no signage visible. When I came back I had a ticket that said I’d parked in a red route or clearway (code 46). Every single car in the bay (about 7) had a ticket. 
I had a walk around and saw no signage for a clearway, but about 3 cars up obscured by a hedge there was a sign saying it was a residential permit parking area. Not visible at all when I parked. 
Is parking in a residents bay the same code as parking on a clearway?  I feel like the fact everyone else had a ticket shows the signage wasn’t up to much, but is there any point in appealing?  First parking ticket in 30 years of driving, bit gutted!
There was an event on, so I’ve looked online to see if there were temporary parking restrictions, but can’t find anything.
