We need to know if there are any advance warning signs on the main road in either direction. If you can go and have a look and take photos, it will help. Absence of advance signs makes your reps stronger.

This is the GSV link but it's from 2018 so doesn't show the new signs in place:

You're right there, lots of information on the signs, some unnecessary and very high up, how can a driver assess all that in a couple of seconds whilst turning into the road :(

The 2nd thread this week where the signs have been placed excessively high up. There is no possible need for the blue sign; it is not a traffic sign, not is there really any need for the camera sign. If these were omitted, the sign could be respositioned lower down, and hence more in a driver's line of sight.
Can you please post a GSV link to the location

Hi, I received a PCN from Redbridge council for entering Sydney Road, Barkingside. Been entering this road for years and only realised they had this restriction, and worse I entered just to park on the side to use the cashpoint for the barbers, so I was literally there for only 2 minutes. I have seen some posts on this forum around this one being challenged for the sign. Appreciate any help if there are grounds to challenge or consider it as a very expensive haircut!
PCN here:
