PCN Appeal Upheld - Advice Wanted On Next Steps

Hello,

Recently received a council issue PCN for parking on double yellow lines when on a day out to Wales. The car was parked on a grass verge next to an A-Road as we climbed Snowdonia. On returning to the car we had received a PCN.

The grass verge was more than wide enough to park the car on without encroaching on to the road or touching the yellow lines. I appealed on the grounds that the double yellow lines where inside a solid white line which denoted the edge of the carriageway, so the grass verge could not be included within the yellow lines 'jurisdiction' if you will. I shall upload photographs tomorrow which will make it clear.

After the my partner appealed, we got a reply from a company called WPPP (Wales Penalty Processing Partnership) stating they had looked into the matter and there where no grounds for the PCN to be cancelled with further dribble regarding how we should pay.

I replied myself with a two page letter asking for various things such as evidence in the highway code that shows double yellow lines inside a solid white line, information on the income received from the parking location etc. etc.

I received a reply yesterday stating that the PCN has now been cancelled on the grounds that the yellow lines where within a single white line, and not a whole lot more. I will upload the letters and PCN tomorrow for people to read through.

Now the worrying thing is that there where LOT's of people parking on this grass verge (I estimated 50+ just at the time we where there) all with PCN notices on.

Now my questions to you are, what is stopping me:

1) Claiming money back for the time wasted by myself and my partner in appealing the PCN.

2) Asking the council to pay back all tickets from the parking location, on the grounds they have admitted the yellow lines are not legal?

Thank you for any advice.
