       The OP disappeared but this case for another Hackney location
       was won at the tribunal yesterday with the same sign issue.

       Reasons
       this vehicle was parked in a parking place not designated for
       that class of vehicle: on the council's case it, not being a
       motorcycle, was parked in a parking place for the use of
       motorcycles only.
       On the appellant's case the sign was unclear. I agree with him.
       It may well be compliant, but it seems to me that it can be read
       as allowing both motorcyclists and, separately, J permit holders
       to park in this bay. I am not satisfied that the sign makes it
       clear that only motorcycles covered by a J permit can park on
       it. The appellant as a J permit holder in my view was entitled
       to conclude that he could park on the bay. I am not satisfied
       against this background as to the clarity of signage, and I
       accordingly find that the contravention did not occur.
