Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi,

I have received a PCN on 5th April for an alleged moving traffic contravention on 21st March at 22.15 when collecting my daughter from a theatre show. I drove down Lime St to drop my missus off at the venue so she could meet my daughter when she came outside. The drop off only took about 10 seconds and I went to park up elsewhere out of the way but I wasn't aware at the time I couldn't enter Lime street to drop my missus off outside. You used to be able to drive down there but they have done a lot of road works and changes in the past few years. I simply didn't notice any signs telling me otherwise. They have provided pictures and video evidence which I have attached along with the front and back of the PCN.

Do I have any grounds to appeal this do you think?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and for any help.

If you un-redact PCN Number and car registration we can have a look at the video. If you don't want to do that, then please post it here.

OK, so don't cough-up straightaway, but submit some representations based on your narrative here, explaining that you required access to the theatre entrance to alight a passenger outside the theatre. "Access" is not very closely defined, but basically has been taken to mean "needing access to premises along the restricted street". Of course then one has to define "need" !!
