Replace "attached please find the photographic evidence" with "please see the photographic evidence at LINK" and don't attach anything.

I will PM you a link to put in the representation, it will redirect to https://imgur.com/a/X0VqAOt but if you give them the link I'll PM you, we can use the click count to confirm whether they've looked at it or not (obviously do not click on that link yourself as we want the click count to remain at zero). If they don't click on it, we can then prove they've failed to consider all of the evidence. If they say in the rejection that they've considered all the evidence, we've got them for lying as well.

I would omit the 3rd point, as the clocks changed months ago, so much so that it's now not long until they change back.

Hi @everyone,

I received a rejection regarding my appeal to the PCN.

Please find the attached rejection letter.

The officer did provide a screencap but I could never see the warning sign because I never passed through there. Please find his screencap here on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/jhaem3swsQQ6hKaf9  The warning sign is on Old Kenton Lane but I was driving on Slough Lane from Salmon Street. Please also find my screencap from Google Maps. The black x is where the warning sign is posted. The red x is where the prohibited area sign is posted and I was driving northbound. Therefore, I could never see the warning sign.

Also to @cp8759, could you please check the link you sent me about the evidence to see whether they have clicked or not?

Please suggest if I should pay the PCN to end the case or continue to appeal to the adjudicator (as they did not request additional information from me).

Many thanks!

They have not accessed the link you provided, so arguably they have failed to consider the supporting evidence.

I cannot tell you that you should or shouldn't appeal as this is a finely balanced case: we see plenty of appeals where Brent messes up, but we cannot guarantee the outcome. However if you wish to carry on I'm happy to represent you, but it has to be your decision.

@cp8759, Do you think these two valid arguments
1. They did not consider all the evidence, as they did not click the link
2. There is no warning sign, the one they provided I did not pass through as illustrated in previous post
will be more likely to succeed to overthrow the decision and cancel the PCN?

If this was me i would be biting CP's hand of to take the offer to represent you feeling I have a far better than 50/50 chance

Then I would start saving the cost of a cup of coffee every week. I on the off chance i lost i would have saved the difference, but truth be told i would expect to have an extra £130 for xmas

This would of course require stetching the allowed time to the limit

Jacoblo I would not offer to represent you if I didn't think you had a better than even chance of winning (nobody wants to take on a lost cause). Maybe not by a huge margin, but still I think you have a slightly better than even chance.

If I push the time allowed to the limit, I can get the case heard in late January meaning the deadline to pay would be late February, so you have 4 months, meaning you only need to set aside £3.82 a week to make up the extra £65, which as Pastmybest says you might well end up keeping for yourself anyway.

@cp8759
If you represent me to appeal, what grounds of appeal would you use? From the appeal form they categorise into five reasons, but I don’t see any of one applies to me.

I'd bring a collateral challenge under the ground that the amount demanded exceeds the amount due in the circumstances of the case, adjudicator Jack Walsh explains this in Adam Jones v London Borough of Havering (2190374806, 09 October 2019).

@cp8759
I have just found that in the rejection letter the fourth paragraph, they are describing the prohibited zone - Old Kenton Lane JW Sunningdale Gardens, which is irrelevant to this contravention - Slough Lane JW Lewgars Avenue. Would it be a valid point to appeal as well?

Also, as they did not click the link, they failed to consider all the supporting evidence from my representation. Is that a solid ground?

Furthermore, is it legally required to have advanced warning sign for this restriction - entering the pedestrian and cyclist zone with restriction zone time?

If you had to give a percentage, what do you think of its successful rate.

Why would it be?

Only up to a point, as they've put the same picture in your notice of rejection.

Not really, but the absence of adequate warning signs can make the restriction enforceable. That being said, you headed for the restriction head-on, so there's not much of a case that an AWS was needed.

I'd say something between 55% and 65%.
