Good afternoon,
This is an identical situation to the other few cases for Oldfield Lane South posted this year. I have read their posts and the replies, but after the initial response from the generous members of the group here, I cannot see how these have transpired, so would be VERY keen to see if I have a case to not paying their fine please?
I was visiting the area for a work contract, as I live 100+ miles away. My google maps had taken me down this road and being very unfamiliar with it combined with it absolutely slashing down with rain, I did not notice that there is a pedestrian only zone only for specific times of the day signposted. For all intent and purpose it looked like any other road I had driven down that day!
The exact location is here:

Date of Contravention: 4/12/25
Date of Notice: 11/12/25
(Making Christmas day the last day of the fake discount to £80)
The full PCN is here:




Any help that can be provided would be so appreciated. It goes without saying that an £80 fine at this time of year under the horrible financial situation we are all in really hurts our family.
Thank you!
