Screenshot is missing the vital information: the price, the date of increase and your proof of date of the shot.

We win cases because of this.

Title: PCN Lambeth - 53 j - failing to comply with restriction zone
Post by: ihateinjustice24 on March 19, 2026, 03:22:05 pm
Hi, I’m looking for some advice on multiple PCNs I’ve received from Lambeth for entering a pedestrian/school street zone on Sunnyhill Road.

I’ve recently received my first PCN (reduced to £80), but it was issued around 10–11 days after the contravention date. During that time, I continued to drive through the same road daily to get to work, completely unaware of the restriction.

I now realise this is a timed school street restriction, but the signage is positioned right at the turn, so I didn’t notice it at the time. I am also not from the local area.

Because the first PCN arrived late, I have unknowingly committed the same contravention multiple times before I had any opportunity to change my behaviour.

I’m concerned I could now receive multiple PCNs for the same mistake, potentially amounting to a large total I cannot afford.

My questions are:

* Can I argue “continuous contravention” or that multiple PCNs are disproportionate since I wasn’t aware of the restriction before receiving the first notice?
* Has anyone had success getting additional PCNs cancelled in similar circumstances?

For context, I have now stopped using the road during restricted hours as soon as I became aware.

Any advice would be really appreciated.
