Yes I noticed those - they've been there for a while with no
signs. I think they're going to lose this if signs still not
there.
There were as I suspected PPA signs:

There are no signs on the street since I've moved there, that's
way I'm confused.
Obviously at the moment I'm not parking there anymore, but is
there anything that I can do in regards of this? Any appeal
suggestion or anything please?

Before you leave your car parked, please check the parking signs
on the road in which you parked to ensure that there is no
change in the status of the parking bay. (my underline)
That is from
HTML https://www.newham.gov.uk/parking-permits/resident-parking-zones/1
where it says that the restricted hours for Custom House are
'Monday to Saturday, 8am - 6.30pm'
This site
HTML https://www.newham.gov.uk/homepage/109/resident-parking-zones-rpz
says

> The controlled parking restrictions and times of operation
will clearly be stated on signs within the zone. Please ensure
you check these before you park. Please also make sure that you
are not parked in a specific bay i.e. car club bay, doctors bay,
disabled bay, or on single/double yellow lines.

I may have missed something, but the signs at the border say
CPZ, not RPZ.
There are, as the OP says, no signs where he parked and no
relevant signs on the main length of Alnwick Road, thus he has
complied with the necessary checks given on the website.
I feel that he has a strong case - what do others think?

IMPORTANT - if you have not paid this please show us the letter
through the post (only redact yr name and address) - it should
be called Notice to Owner (NtO)

I think the case here is very strong, and as the OP has already
paid all there is to pay, having had the car towed away, he can
take them all the way to London Tribunals with no risk
whatsoever, and should get all the money back.

My guess is they abandoned the PPAs and wanted to make it all a
CPZ, but to do that all kerbsides must be marked with yellow
lines and signed parking bays. If there are no signed parking
bays where the OP got a code 12 then I can't see a contravention
occurred. Either that or it's a signless PPA.

Date of release from pound 15th January - I make deadline for
reps 11th Feb?
[member=4342]Andu_Alex[/member] you should have received from
the pound a guide to making reps. If you didn't, that's another
thing against the Council

I didn't notice anything in the post to be honest. The house was
under refurbishment for couple of months and before me there
lived an elderly lady that was bed bound. This in this attais
not payed yet.
