Tottenham Court Road PCN
« on: »
Hello,

I am new here so please be kind.
I have received two moving PCNs by Camden Council for going up Tottenham Court Road, one at 11:50am and then one at 11:51am.
I am a Field Service Engineer for a Medical Device Company and on the 6th January 2026 I was responding to a callout at a customer in Harley St London, patient waiting on the bed.
Just to let you know that I work on Surgery Room theatre equipment.
I have been working in London for the 30 years doing this type or work.
Never had a fine or anything like this until this day.
Southampton Row was shut and you weren't allowed to go down so everyone has to go down High Holborn.
The time of day was around 11:50am.
When i got to the junction with Shaftesbury Ave with High Holborn it was solid nothing moving so I had to go straight on and go to Tottenham Court Road junction and head down that way to Howland Street where I turn left.

Normally I never do this as I usually go up Southampton Row to Bloomsbury Square Gardens then head down passed the British Museum then head right up Bloomsbury Street then head left down Howland Street.

I just didn't see the sign.

I drive a company car and they have paid the fines but I feel that only one PCN should have been issued and not the two.

Is there anyway I can appeal this please?
I will admit to one of them but feel two is a bit excessive.

Many Thanks
Best Regards
Nigel

First of all, you do not own the car. Under the decriminalised legislation that supports all PCNs, the owner is responsible for PCNs, (appealing or paying), the driver has no role. With paper PCNs served to the car or driver at the roadside, the driver can submit an informal challenge, but if this is declined, the owner is responsible for taking the matter forward to appeal. Of course the driver can pay the PCN if the challenge is declined

Secondly, in your case the owner has paid the PCNs and that is the end of it, no appeals are possible if payment is made. It is possible to appeal if the owner authorises the person to submit representations and also to even take the council to adjudication, but if the case is lost, resonsibility for payment still rests with the owner.
