Bromley, code 73 parked without payment, Lennard Rd card park

Hello everyone,
I left my car this Saturday at a council run car park and got
fined for non-payment. However, the information panel says
"Hours of operation: Monday to Friday". I did have a look on
Ringo afterwards and it does ask for payment on Saturday, but
this contradicts the information panel info.
Will it be straightforward to get the PCN cancelled ? After all,
the council ought to display the correct information if they
expect people to pay for parking on Saturday!
Thanks!
Here are the photos of the information panel and the PCN:

they're just photos of the car):

Sadly, straightforward cancellations are rarely straightforward
to councils :(
That said, pleas post rest of PCN and a GSV link to location.
Are there any more info boards in the car park?

I have updated the main post with the full PCN photo and some
photos from the council. Even the council photos show "Hours of
operation: Monday to Friday"!
It was raining heavily when I returned to the car and found the
PCN, so didn't spend much time outside, but I did not see any
other sign with parking times info. I can go have a look in the
next few days if needed though.
Thanks.

Was there nothing on the back of the PCN?

I wouldn't over-complicate this, just send a representation
point out the hours of operation displayed in the car park and
let's see what they say. It might just be that the CEO made a
mistake, it does happen. One of our most illustrious members
only got involved in this subject because he was given a PCN on
a Saturday for a disabled bay that was only a disabled bay
Monday to Friday, that mistake has cost the council tens of
thousands over the years.

It's really quite incredible that their own photo shows the car
park charges apply Mon-Friday, and a PCN for a Saturday. I
wonder what wriggle-text they will send out to refute your reps
!

The council's website gives this: Charges Mon-Sat.

So, a difference.
If the photos of the sign are current then as said a
straightforward challenge should get them to cancel and update
their signs.

Quick update: the PCN has been cancelled by the council. I have
not received any email / letters but the website says "There is
no outstanding charge for this Penalty Charge Notice."
Thank you all for you help.
