[Haringey] Barratt Avenue N22 (junction Park Avenue) (SS16) school street

Also can we see the entirety of the rejection letter? From another Haringey case I think there are some errors in their template which may be sufficient to win.

Notice of Rejection of Representations. Your case comes under the London Local Authorities
and Transport for London Act 2003

Penalty Charge Notice number:XXX
Date of contravention: 29 January 2026
Location: Barratt Avenue N22 (junction Park Avenue) (SS16)
Vehicle registration: XXX
Verification Code: 95C61A

Thank you for writing to us.

We have carefully considered what you say but we have decided not to cancel your Penalty Charge
Notice (PCN).

We sent you a PCN because our CCTV camera evidence shows your vehicle entering a pedestrian
zone when it was not allowed to. At this location there are two signs on either side of the road, these
signs comply with the relevant regulations. The red circle indicates a prohibition and is also illustrated
in the current edition of the Official Highway Code. These signs are reflective and clear for all
motorists to observe and comply with.

I have considered what you have explained in your representations, however I am satisfied on the
balance of probabilities that the signage relating to the restriction was substantially compliant with the
relevant regulations, clear and adequate. As you have shown in your evidence, there is a clear advance
warning sign on Park Avenue, which informs motorists of the pedestrian zone. You say that this sign
was obscured by another vehicle, however the sign is positioned at a height that would still make it
visible for all motorists to observe and comply with. This sign in conjunction with the statutory signs
make this restriction substantially clear. The onus therefore rests with the motorist to ensure that they
comply with all traffic signs.

After careful consideration of the circumstances and the evidence presented, I must inform you that
your representations have been on this occasion. I am satisfied that a contravention did occur and that
the Penalty Charge Notice was issued correctly.

You have these choices:
• You can pay the discount charge of £80.00. You have 14 days from the date of this letter being
served to do this.
• You can pay £160.00 if you miss the discount period. You have 28 days from the date of this
letter being served to do this.
• You can appeal to the Parking Adjudicator by following the instructions below using PIN
number 95C61A. You have 28 days from the date of this letter being served to do this.

The Adjudicator can ask one side to pay costs if he or she believes, for example, that they have been
wholly unreasonable. However, the Adjudicator rarely asks either side to pay costs. The
Adjudicator is independent and both sides must accept the Adjudicator's decision. If you lose
your appeal, you will have to pay the full charge rather than the discount charge (unless the
Adjudicator decides otherwise).

If you do nothing
If, after 28 days, you have taken no action, we may send you a Charge Certificate increasing the
charge from £160.00 to £240.00. You will then have 14 days to pay the increased charge. If, after the
14 days, you have not paid the increased charge, we may apply to the Traffic Enforcement Centre to
recover the money - plus court costs - from you.

How to pay:
• By internet: Go to http://www.haringey.gov.uk/payments and follow the online instructions.
• By telephone: At any time (Credit/Debit Cards only) on 0300 456 0520 - Please have your
credit/debit card and Penalty Charge Number to hand when you make the call.
• In person: Take your PCN and payment to Haringey Vehicle Pound, Unit 1, 1 Waltham Park
Way, London, E17 5DU between Monday to Saturday 7am to 10pm and Sunday 8am to 8pm.

Please ensure you obtain a receipt.
Yours sincerely

Parking Process Case Officer

What are your grounds of appeal?

You keep referring to driver

Can't access any previous posts, so to be clear: were you the driver and are the PCN and NOR addressed to you by name?

UPDATE: Hearing scheduled for 16th of this month.

Do you have the council's evidence?
What are your grounds of appeal?
You keep referring to driver, but this is owner liability therefore there is no point in concealing the driver's details. In fact the opposite can apply. If you were not the driver then you don't have any first-hand knowledge which IMO would severely weaken your case as regards the claim that the advance sign was obscured. I assume you know that 'large van/delivery vehicles' are not permitted to stop within the controlled area(zig-zags) which is where(and possibly why) this sign is sited. There are limited exceptions, but loading etc. is not one of them.

And if you weren't there anyway..then the adjudicator has the objective evidence of signage only. But maybe a procedural knight will ride to your rescue, hence Hippocrates' questions.

You're committed now anyway, so it's a case of making the most of what you've got.
