How do I appeal a parking ticket when there was no restriction sign present?
I parked in a residential street with no parking restriction signs. I returned to my vehicle two days later and there was a 'warning letter' AND a PCN on my windscreen. The local authority had put up signs in the two days I had left my vehicle. I appealed the ticket but it was refused- I'm now at the Notice to Owner stage. Anyone have any advice on what to state in my next appeal?

You can read our in-depth guide into appealing parking tickets here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/advice/parking-ticket-appeals/ but we would suggest that the best approach would be to prove that the signs were installed on the road after your car was parked. You may need to contact the council separately in order to gain the required evidence for when the work was carried out, as well as any evidence that verifies when you parked the vehicle.
