Yes, luckily got an appointment this morning first thing and have emailed it off now. Fingers crossed. We also did a PE2 just in case. What happens next?

The court staff will be the witness. Have you made an appointment?

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm on it. That's the PE3 correct? Flippin heck hopefully can arrange a witness at the court tomorrow.

You need to act fast to make a statutory declaration that you didn't get the PCN as the order for recovery was sent and there is only a few days before it goes to a bailiff.

Hello,
We were issued a PCN for entering a pedestrian zone during school hours. It's not well marked and when you're driving through a school zone during pickup the focus is on kids running around not signage.
That said we drove through during the signposted hours we missed on the day but it was on the same day we were moving house (July 18 2024) so the PCN went to the old address somehow despite a redirection through Royal Mail. It's just turned up over three months later. Seems someone popped it into an envelope to forward at some point but didn't pay enough postage so it went back and then was redirected at last to the correct address.
We're now past the window to pay the lesser amount and I probably don't have grounds to contest it regardless of my feelings that there should be more obvious flashing lights or a gate to prevent drivers from entering.
I see others have been caught out similarly https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/lewisham-53j-pedestrian-zone-restriction-bellingham-road-junction-with-longhill-/

What can we do about this now, is it worth contesting or can we at least get it reduced to the initial £65.00 charge given it was delivered to the wrong address and only redirected this week?
Thank you
