Post Requesting Assistance with PCN Appeal

Hi everyone,

I need some help with drafting an appeal for a PCN. On 17th June 2025, while travelling to work via a new route, I unknowingly entered a restricted area. The PCN was issued at 08:15:15. Having reviewed the footage, I can now see that the restriction came into effect from 08:15:00.

I wasn’t aware that the signage was there and was blindly following my GPS, which didn't flag any restrictions. I entered the area purely for my route to work and had no intention of violating the rules.

If anyone could assist me in writing a strong appeals letter to contest these PCNs, I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards.


I've attached a GIF of the incident and both sides of the PCN.

How many PCNs? (Following Satnavs in today's rapidly changing restrictions is never recommended -they are never up-to-date :(  )

That said
For meaningful advice, Please to have  aread of

and post up here
all sides of the PCN,
any Council images (inc the video),

Only redact yr name & address from docs - leave all else in.

Thanks for the nudge, I've uploaded the PCN.
