Just looking at a similar post for another borough, just alwondering if the council have an error on the letter with the dates on which the payment is due.. 28 days from the date of notice as opposed to 28 days from the date the pcn was served?

It seems your wife knew about the restriction, but got the time wrong. Frankly, 5 minutes is unlikely to be considered de minimis at London Tribunals, the only place where you'd get an unbiased judgment. The council keep all your money if you pay so are hardly unbiased.

Your wife turned right into the restriction and Newham have erected an advance warning sign, so one has to conclude that the signage is adequate to convey the restriction, the test in Regulation 18(1)(a) of The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996

My wife has received a Ticket from London Borough Of Newham for driving into one of the No Entry Zones that are put in place during School Pick Up hours.
She was going to pick up the kids and didn't manage to find parking on Cranmer Road but turned right on the roundabout on Godwin Road believing she was still outside of the enforcement times of 15:00 - 16:00.  She received a ticket stating she went in at 15:05.

Above is a google maps image of the enforcement sign. 

I have attached the images of the PCN below.  Not sure if there are any grounds to appeal based on the 5 mins??.  But would be grateful for any support
