PCN served through post, cheeky CEO took photo in seconds and
vanished

I live in Birmingham, was driving in Ealing, London area.
Honestly, I couldnt see road marking to differentiate the
start/end of the loading area. It appeared to me normal black
road with no white markings for parking bay. I went into a shop
to check/confirm if I can park, within few seconds I drove away.
Couldnt believe how efficient the CEO was, he took instantly the
photos, later PCN was received through post. Can someone help
here, if I got to pay this PCN or should I challenge, please?

Looking at your GSV link, you can see that there were white bay
markings, but they are virtually all worn out, so as you say,
you went to a shop to ask about the bay. So what did the shop
tell you ? Funnily enough, whilst the bay markings are almost
totally absent, the "Loading Only" text on the carriageway is
still clear.
I suggest you submit representations on the basis of the
contravention did not occur, because the bay markings worn out
so requested info from one of the shops. They told you it one
bay and all for goods vehicles loading only, so you immediately
went back to your car and drove off.
BTW, the postal PCN is lawful under the Traffic Management Act
2004, which introduced the power to serve a postal PCN if the
driver of the vehicle drove off before the CEO could serve a PCN
at the roadside.

Please: the full circumstances of the CEO issuing the ticket.
Did you prevent him by your actions? What was the situation when
he was taking the photos or printing the ticket?

Sadly, bay markings are not required if the authority rely upon
this provision:
(3) The bay may be varied to contrast, in pattern or colour,
from the surrounding parts of the road and any adjoining bays,
in which case the marking may be omitted.
Part 5 2(3) of these regs applies:

No, I didnt notice the parking attendant at all. No idea where
he came and took the photos. The jewelshop keeper pointed out
the signpost, which I immediately moved my car, it was really
under two minutes of exercise.
Would the council not look at the time frame? I mean, it was
just under a min he took the photos. I thought the loading area
is further down 2-3 bays away from where I thought I parked
correctly. I think I will challenge the ticket and explain what
I have experienced.
