Parking Ticket advice?

Hi

- Where is the best place to get advice on my parking ticket?
(which was in Central London).

What happened:

Cut a long story short, I parked on a single yellow line (with no
chevron, vertical lines on it) and there was a confusing yellow sign
on the curbside that read:

"No Loading
Mon - Fri 8:30am -6:30pm
Sat 8:30am - 1:30pm"

So I parked on a Saturday at 1:45pm, but I got a ticket.

The irritating thing is that I had already specially phoned up the
Westminster Council, (in London, UK) to ask for clarification, and
they had looked up the street on their computer and said that yes, I
could park there legally after 1:30 on a Saturday.

I think the following link helps explain why parking wardens are
(were) happy with the low pay.

A story it's impossible to draw conclusions from, as there are so few facts.
