No I haven't read anything on the other thread, as that site will be going offline soon and I'm busy enough as it is here.

I'll drop you a PM about the next steps.

Yes please, that would be extremely helpful!

Can you advise on the next steps please? I assume you read my initial draft appeal over on the other thread :

I think you have an arguable case on the signage, and there's the address issue as well.

Would you like me to represent you at the tribunal?

Not sure what happened there, but I've fixed the links now.

Thanks

The lack of postal address might work, but neither of your links work, please re-post.

Hi All,

Recently receive a PCN from Tower Hamlets after entering a road which was pedestrian zone between 8:30 to 9:30am and 3-4pm.

I turned left into Arnhem Place to turn the car around at 3:16pm not realising there was a restriction in place.

Although there were signs on both sides of the road, the nearest sign was obstructed by a bush and placed away from the kerbside, making it challenging to see when approaching the junction due to line of sight.  I’ve made an informal appeal, but the council responded saying that "the signs are in clear view as you begin to turn into the road".

Considering the time-based restrictions, it seems impractical to expect drivers to review the sign and check the clock when approaching from this direction.

Also, if the PCN didn’t state an address for payment does this make it invalid?

Do I have realistic case to appeal to London Tribunals?

Thanks in advance!
