The lack of dropped curb and cars parked behind pedestrian crossings and a bus stop suggests that the access to these parking places is illegal.

The lack of enforcement suggests that the yellow lines do not apply to cars parked this far back from the road, even if the land is owned by the council. And that the council are not enforcing the illegal crossing of the pavement by residents.

But if the land is owned by the council as they claim, then the notices that prevent people parking here are also entirely incorrect and no legal enforcement by the residents would be possible.

I think I know where I'll be parking next time I drive to the pool!
