There is one sign at each end of the bays near to where the OP
parked it is affixed to the wall and at the other end a post. I
would suggest that the sign the OP photographed the one the CEO
photoed was at the other end on the post For me the OP was
entitled to believe the that any suspension was over

Yeah so:
No cones were I parked
Sign on the meter where the cones were had no times on. I didn't
pay (sign may block the machine)
The disabled parking opposite the venue wasn't accessible
because the street was blocked by removing a clamped vehicle! So
there was nowhere to park. If I'd have known I would have parked
on double yellows, as you get 3 hours with a badge.
I thought 1) the restriction was over and 2) it was OK with a
badge.
The fact further up there were cones, and then they stopped for
a number of bays was not clear.

Here is North Parade:

It's not new at all as it was there in 2008 and has likely been
there for decades if not centuries, it's just not mapped on
google maps.
Anyway, this should be reasonably straightforward:

Dear Manchester City Council,
I challenge liability for PCN MC26350004 on the ground that the
alleged contravention did not occur. This is because there was
no signage in the vicinity of my car indicating the extent of
any restrictions. While all the photos of my car were taken
between 3:55 and 3:57 pm, the only photo the CEO took of the
sign is timed at 4:03 pm, which suggests that the CEO had to
walk no less than six minutes from my car to the sign. The sign
cannot therefore have been visible from where my car was parked.
While there was a sign close to my car, that sign did not carry
any information, I refer you to the photo I have uploaded at
(link)
In light of the above the alleged contravention did not occur.
Yours faithfully,
[/indent]
I will PM you a link to put in the representation, it will
redirect to

but if you use the link
I'll PM you, we can use the click count to confirm whether
they've looked at it or not. If they don't click on it, we can
then prove they've failed to consider all of the evidence. If
they say in the rejection that they've considered all the
evidence, we've got them for lying as well.

Well done to Manchester City Council for at least looking at the
evidence. Expect a rejection any day.

So they've looked at it - why rejection thought case was strong
?

Because the amount due on the council website is £35, if they'd
cancelled it it would be zero.
That being said, councils reject 99% of informal representations
because they know that most people will give up and pay at that
point.

Have you received the rejection letter?
In any case Manchester normally reoffers the discount if you
challenge the notice to owner within 14 days, so on that basis
you might as well carry on as it involved very limited risk.
