Ladies and gents of NSC.
I've previously received and successfully appealed a "PCN" on private land, using the tried and tested methods regularly discussed on here.
However, yesterday I received a ticket from Horsham District Council for an on-street parking offence.
I want to appeal it, due to the parking sign wording being ambiguous.
I read it as "non-permit holders can only park here between 10am and midday", but apparently it means exactly the opposite - even though the other half of the street (New Street, in Horsham) is "non-permit holders can park after 10am".
Someone that lives there told me that it happens all the time, as lots of people do what I did, and that she only knew what the sign meant as she lives there.
Do I have any chance of appeal, or am I wasting my time fighting a council-issued ticket and should just pay up?
I had parked there so I could walk into town and do a small shop in Poundland, before signing-on as I'm between jobs at the moment...
....so if there's any way I can save the £35 charge, your advice will be very gratefully accepted!
Thanks folks.
