Received a PCN from LA parking outside my home whilst loading...

[zulu123]

I parked in a what looked like a bay

 

When I returned  I catch warden issuing PCN in RBK from the LA

this was around 6:35pm an operating hours in bays is upto 6:30pm

 

I have a resident permit,

he is stating as its dropped kerb, im not allowed to park there

it looks like dropped kerb is newly done (is very small length dropped kerb)

 

next to this the drop is clearly shown with double yellow lines & bollards where pedestrians can cross, however where I parked the bay markings are still there and I thought I parked clearly in the bay,

 

some broken worn out yellow line markings are also there which were not clear when i parked from the angle that I could see , 

 

it is somewhat confusing ,

I normally park on that side in the normal bays next to this and as im a resident permit holder have never had an issue in 15 years of parking,

 

now I received a NTO however I notice im out of the 28 days so not sure what my options are now. it shows I owe £165 now!

 

It seems unfair that this is so confusing as the bay markings are still on the road and should be removed and yellow lines should be placed properly so they can be seen.

 

Please help !
