Re: Manchester City Council code 21 parked in a suspended bay on
Lower Byrom St

I’d be inclined to remind the Council that they have a duty
under the RTRA 1984 to place adequate signage. The fact that
Part III to the Schedule to The Road Traffic (Temporary
Restrictions) Procedure Regulations 1992 requires under
paragraph 7©
HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1992/1215/schedule/made
the
covering up or removal or existing signs when the statutory
parking place is suspended is evidence that Govt does not
consider the non covering or non removal or existing signs to be
adequate. To have a prescribed regulatory sign conveying parking
is permitted and also a temporary sign conveying parking is
prohibited creates an ambiguous situation where a person has to
make a judgement between a familiar prescribed regulatory sign
and a less familiar cardboard cut out sign. Having in place two
signs that contradict is not adequate and where ambiguity exists
the legal principle is to favour the appellant and therefore the
PCN should be cancelled.

Looking at the suspension pictures from CP there appears to have
been more than one suspension as some of the dates are outside
the issue of the PCN. interestingly in this picture:

there appears to be an additional sign attached to a traffic
cone right next to the bay you parked in.
Was there a sign on a cone when you parked?
