[quote author=darrsi link=topic=17364.msg200132#msg200132 date=1434656667]You could try appealing but i don't reckon you'll win, especially as they offer free motorcycle parking anyway.

Councils count on this type of apathy, you have nothing loose by appealing. Clearing the warden was just another jobsworth with a target bonus.

Let's not be blinkered here, it's in writing that you cannot park a bike in a pay and display car bay so they will simply refer to that.
What appeal can you make? I don't think that " I couldn't see the bike bay, because of parked cars" is going to wash very well?
And why was the warden being a "jobsworth"? He was just doing his job, it's not like it was personal.

Unless You cannot park a bike in a pay and display car bay was on signage I think Ginge has a good case to appeal. do you check the internet everytime you go into a town to check every small detail of the local bylaws

No, obviously not, but in all the many years i've been riding i've never used a pay and display bay either, because there's nowhere to put a ticket.
There will always be a place marked out specifically for bikes in any town, even if it's maybe way too small and always full up.
One of the worst places i've ever tried parking in was Camden in London, my ex used to work in a shop not far from the market, and i needed to quickly drop something off to her so i buried my bike between two cars totally hidden away from sight down a side road as i knew i wouldn't be about long.
I was honestly back in about 8 minutes and sure enough they must've spotted me walking out of the road and taken aim with a ticket in hand.
Unfortunately for them they got one digit wrong on my number plate so i ignored it and nothing ever happened.
I agree he should appeal, as i said earlier, but i personally don't think it'll get him anywhere for this particular case.
