Free Traffic Legal Advice

Was on delivery had several delivries on Browning road. I do not have the record. but I have my pay record for the time and I have google timeline showing me stopping all over the area.

The CCTV seems to show I'm turning right into the restricted road, but there is no road to the right, I was parked offside doing delivery and probably had more dleiveries just up the road which made me not see the sign. I think I was parked close to the sign that my sun visor probably didn't allow me to notice the sign when I got back in my car and proceeded to drive on.

Web code hidden to prevent anyone abusing the form. I will upload all the media in the evidence page shortly.






I have hidden the webcode, so I have uploaded all the media here:

I'd like to look at the traffic management order to see if there is something in there that has dispensation for "access" in a previous case I took it to tribunal and won (a sign I didn't notice because I was doing multi drop), that time they left something in the open about restrictions to motorvehicle, except for access. The sign didnt say access. And adjudicator granted it because the sign does not comply with the TMO/TRO.

ALthough I'm short of time and on th elast day of discount, not sure if I should just send an appeal now - filling in anything and do more research and take it to tribunal. Or if I should lose the discount and research and file a proper informal appeal (in case they do offer the discount again after rejecting informal appeal).

the gazzette notice is here.



Read 3a on https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/3687605

(a) a prohibition of vehicles proceeding in a southerly direction from entering Browning Road at its junction with Rectory Road, except for buses; taxis; pedal cycles; A1 access permit holders, refuse collection vehicles and certain other vehicles in certain circumstances;

I'm hoping on the actual TMO it has except for access.

Fear not !

At the OfR stage, you submit a Statutory Declaration to the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC),  not the council. Provided the SD is received within the period allowed from service of the OfR, your SD will be automatically accepted, you don't have to prove anything. The only time the council can object to an SD is when it is submitted out-of-time.

Have you checked on the Newham web pages to see the status of the PCN and its events log ? (I'm assuming they do have one)

Anyway, main advice is DO NOT PAY THE CC, but wait for the OfR.  The time is now well overdue for the law to be changed to insist on enforcement documents being sent by tracked mail, the councils make shedloads of money from PCNs so can well afford it.

Have you had any difficulties with mail in the recent past at all ?

I hate to say this but Newham are the only council to have 99.9% resolved the 28 days service v payment anomaly. We need the webcode and I believe there are 4 pages?
