misleading signs on pole

Hi
I parked on a road which had MC on one side of the pole and GS
on the other. I parked using a GS voucher, which was displayed
clearly on the dashboard. I parked around at 15:30 facing the GS
signs. I have parked there many times before, and at 16:05, I
received a PCN notice. The alleged contravention stated '12w
Parked in a residents' or shared use of parking place or zone
without a valid permit or clearly displaying a valid physical
permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for the place
where required, or without payment of the parking charge.' The
signs are misleading and confusing. If they wanted residents to
park in the area, why are there two signs, MC and GS, on the
same pole? I had a valid voucher with all the correct details.
After receiving the PCN, I went back and noticed that the
council had put up another small sign on another pole not
visible to the drivers, stating MC Permit holder only. The
drivers would not be able to see this sign; the sign they would
see is on a pole directly in front. The time when I parked the
car was dark, and anybody would have missed the new small signs.
Why has the council not removed the GS signs if the parking is
only for the Permit holders? I wish to challenge the PCN on the
basis that the signs are unclear and confusing for the drivers.
