In terms of the contemporaneous footage, the vehicle passing the sign seems to be clearly made out. With that said, there may well be points that can be challenged in the PCN paperwork, though I am unsure whether or not others here agree with my interpretation of the wording defects. If you want I can draft a short representation including a technical strategy that I recently learned on this forum. From my perspective, the best course of action would be a collateral challenge intermixed with other points of appeal to see if the council make an error in response, that may help build a case in the event you wished to contest it all the way. Do you have any mitigating circumstances or disability that put you at a disadvantage. Are you able to revisit location to film reconstruction footage with iphone by safely walking along the pavement showing the sign at the entrance of the road then walking a few moments to the pedestrian zone sign.

So, any particular reason you passed this sign, because it seems clear enough ?

Frnkly, I can't see a win here at London Tribunals unless somebody comes up with a 'technical' appeal. If you take them to London Tribunals the full PCN penalty will be in play, the discount option has closed before that stage

You need to set the video to public but it looks a straightforward contravention, going straight towards and past the sign well into the afternoon school street time.

There may be an issue with the PCN - I've not checked it other than the time.

Sorry I posted the wrong video before.

Hi,

We received the fine below.
I have also attached pictures the location and hope to find ways to cancel it. Maybe you see something I don't.
