I've also just noticed that the light over the Clearway sign on
picture 5 isn't illuminated.

Sorry, but none of the points you have made about signs are
valid. Motorists are under a duty to look out for and obey
traffic signs. The sign is clear, and in a well lit area.
Clearways don't need to have red lines, just signs at regular
intervals.
HOwever, with just this one sign, I think the council could be
considered to not have put in adequate signage to indicate the
restriction. This is a very busy, indeed heavily trafficked road
with two lanes each way over the bridge, so it would be very
easy to miss this one sign, especially with HGV and bus traffic,
and there is nothing on the road like double red lines to show
there is a restriction.
So I suggest you submit reps on the lines of what you have told
us about your regular previous parking here, and not seeing the
single sign on the two lane approach over the bridge that tells
a motorist it is a Red Route, and make sure you empahsise the
absence of red lines which you would expect a Red Route would
have. Why call it a Red Route if there is nothing red to
indicate No Stopping !

Just to clarify, the side of the road that I parked on is 4
lanes of traffic. The opposite carriageway is on the parallel
red bridge and is 2 lanes wide. And you're correct, it is a
very busy stretch of road, especially on matchdays.
All your other points are noted for my reps....thanks.

If you look at the aerial photo

there are cars parked
on the bridge like you were so that could support that you
weren't aware it had changed.

An update regarding this.
I simply emailed both Councils with a 2 liner ,saying I'd
received a ticket off each of them for the same offence.
They've been so kind as to cancel their respective tickets
without me having to challenge them further as I had been
dreading, which is very kind of them ;D
Thanks to all who offered advice/help.
A Happy PCN free 2026 to all

Well done !! I certainly didn't expect both to be cancelled.
Maybe a teeny-weeny bit of the Christmas Spirit has wafted into
their parking departments.

Yes - an unexpected but pleasant surprise. Trafford Council
aren't normally that generous so I'll take it. The relief is
more that I now don't have all the admin surrounding the
challenge, which I'm sure a lot on here will relate to.
