My husband parks in the same residential road every day & he buys a regular supply of parking permits approx 4 weeks in advance, he was totally unaware that for two days last week a TEMPORARY PARKING RESTRICTION had been placed outside 2 of the houses in the road, his wheels had parked slightly on 1 of the said spaces, which he landed a parking ticket for. he says there were no obvious signs showing that there was a parking restriction & has since gone up the road to look for any signs, he found one sign on the payment meter, but as he already had his permit he never saw that sign as had no reason to walk up the road to the meter. have we got a case to argue or shall we just shut up & pay up. Any advice please.

No,
I would object, especially as the council must have known that some motorists had prepaid, so therefor would not see the notice on the meters,
i would argue that a sign should have been placed where it could clearly be seen by anyone parking in the restricted area,
One may have been placed there, but maliciously removed by someone wanting to cause trouble to your husband, especially if he parks in the same spot every day,

you may get nowhere with the argument, but it's worth a try,
if only to get it off your chest by telling them what you think of them.
Good luck.
