We thought we were turning into parking area for the shopping outlet but we didnt see the sign as it was dark. What do you think would be the chances for the appeal on the basis of inadequate signage if go ahead with the adjudicators?

Sorry, but the signage, even though dark, is there, and the traffic lights are obviously illuminated incl the No Left Turn sign on them.
You could try submitting an informal representation on the lines of unfamiliarity with Swindon, but councils have very hard hearts now, and, of course, keep all the fines money if they refuse reps.
