Entering a Pedestrian Zone – Brick Lane (Tower Hamlets) -now Charge Certificate
on:
#1
I received a PCN from Tower Hamlets Council for entering a pedestrian zone on Brick Lane. I was focused on looking at the names of the side roads. I did see the signage, but I saw the one-way sign, so I assumed it was okay to proceed — I didn’t realise there was also a pedestrian zone sign.

It was a silly mistake on my part — is there anything I can with this?

Thanks

I was picking up a disabled passenger at the time. Would it be reasonable to base my appeal on this, using their valid disability badge as supporting evidence? A friend mentioned that their similar appeal was rejected, so I'm doubtful this will be considered.
It is something you should emphasise in your representations to the council. They may give way, but most London councils have hearts of stone, as they love the money so much.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find the cases that stamfordman mentioned regarding the confusing signage on Brick Lane?

I’m thinking of writing an appeal that first highlights the confusing signage, then explains that I was picking up a disabled passenger — I'll attach their disability badge as supporting evidence. Does that sound like a good idea?

We need the whole of the PCN and the play you wrote to advise.

I AM ABLE TO TAKE ON MORE CASES AS A REPRESENTATIVE AT THE LONDON TRIBUNALS. I HATE RETIREMENT.

There are "known knowns" which we may never have wished to know. This applies to them. But in the field the idea that there are also "unknown unknowns" doesn't apply as they hide in the aleatoric lottery. I know this is true and need to be prepared knowing the "unknown unknowns" may well apply.

I usually save a copy of my appeals on my laptop, but in this case, I don’t think I did. The main premise of the appeal was that I was picking up a disabled person who was unable to get to me, and that I stopped briefly to assist without putting anyone in danger — there were hardly any pedestrians in the area at the time, and I left immediately afterward.

As expected, the appeal was rejected. However, I noticed that in the rejection letter, they misspelled my name. Could this error be enough to get the PCN dismissed, or is it not worth pursuing further?

I paid the fine for a PCN from Tower Hamlets after my appeal was rejected. Now I’ve received a charge certificate, and when I called, they confirmed my payment but then started making up stories—first claiming it was "partial," then saying it was "late." I was placed on hold multiple times as they kept changing their reasoning. Despite this, they didn’t cancel the charge certificate and said they’d get back to me. This is so bizarre!

Any advice?
