Is this still a live PCN?

No markings suggest they've made it a permit parking area, where once you've gone past the entry sign, unmarked kerb is only for permit holders and other parking (eg pay to park) is only in signed bays.

If you want help post the materials.

It seems Mildmay Road is part of a Permit Zone. So how does one access Mildmay Road ? Well, one way is off Sunnyside Road into Albert Road, which takes you to the entrance to Mildmay Road

As you can see, the permit only signs are there, as they are also at Belmont Road.

So you need to trace your route in GSB, looking for these signs that mark the entrance to the zone. A large zone like this really should have repeater signs.

There are a number of permit parking areas here including in Mildmay Road, and they need an entry sign as per the other links posted.

What is the car VRM - you've blanked it. Redbridge have just shown a repeater sign in what you've posted.

Your options are to pay £160 or appeal to the tribunal which won't cost any more. You must do one of these very soon as date of formal rejection is 14 August.

I can only think they may not have put a permit parking area entry sign in Mildmay Road as the CEO would probably have taken a pic of it so this would be my appeal

Below is the relevant part of the traffic order which suggests that the contravention description may be correct if say physical visitor permits are available.

OP - if you can check signage at start of Mildmay Road that would be useful.

Also one relevant appeal that suggest Redbridge doesn't know what it's doing.

Adjudicator Anju Kaler
Appeal decision Appeal allowed
Direction
cancel the Penalty Charge Notice.

Reasons
The agreed facts are that the vehicle was at the stated location as shown in the Civil Enforcement Officer’s photographs and a Penalty Charge Notice was issued. The Authority asserts the location is within a Controlled Parking Zone.

A single yellow line denotes that restrictions apply at certain times during the day. The Authority has uploaded black and white photographs. There are no single yellow lines seen where the vehicle parked. The Zone Entry signs have no meaning here. I allow the appeal.

Objectively, the contravention description in the NTO is c**p. It doesn't exist, therefore no power falls to the authority to demand a penalty.

Seeing the PCN might explain why the authority has c***ed-up, but it wouldn't change the fundamentals: the NTO is grossly defective and IMO any appeal based thereon would succeed.
