You've blanked the PCN details so we can't check pictures.
Sorry PCN is EF16051628 and VRM is NL64 FJP

Thank you BigBazz - I will drive down today to check if the signs are visible by Milfield.

The zone entry signs are on Silver Street by St Aldhelm's Church and the entrance to Millfield House, and Enfield are usually pretty good at keeping the dates current.
That said, the most recent GSV image shows the one on the Church side as having been rotated so it's not facing oncoming vehicles and the sign on the other side could easily be obscured by a large vehicle.

Approaching from the other end of Silver Street, the zone entry signs are just after a bus stop.

Hi all,
Looking for some advice please.
I popped out for a quick bite from a shop on Silver Street and parked on Warwick Road. I drove from N13 (Hedge Lane), took the Cambridge roundabout, and exited onto Silver Street via the A406 slip road. At no point did I see any Event Day date signage.
I was aware there was no Spurs match on, and given how quiet the area was (especially after the recent Beyoncé concerts), I assumed there was no event. I was literally in the shop for about 15 minutes, came out, and found a PCN on my windscreen. Apparently, there is a Chris Brown event tonight!
Now I’ve been hit with an £80 fine — quite steep for a doner 😅
I’m confused about where we’re supposed to see Event Day notifications for this area. I remember seeing signs further up near the stadium on the High Road, but if you're a local who doesn't regularly pass through those roads, how are we meant to know when these restrictions apply?
Also, would the following draft be OK to send for an informal challenge?
Would appreciate any advice or improvements — or if anyone else has had success appealing similar PCNs!
Thanks
Dear Sirs,
Re: Windscreen [PCN Number] dated [DD/MM/YYYY] – Alleged Contravention on [DD/MM/YYYY] at Warwick Road, N18
I write to formally challenge the above Penalty Charge Notice, which alleges a parking contravention under Code 16 – "Parked in a permit space or zone without clearly displaying a valid permit."
I deny liability for this PCN on the grounds that the contravention did not occur due to inadequate and unclear signage relating to Event Day restrictions. I drove from my home (N13) to Warwick Road for a short visit to nearby Silver Street. At no point during the journey or upon arrival did I observe any clear signage indicating that an Event Day restriction was in force.
Further, there was no Tottenham Hotspur match or event taking place that day to reasonably alert motorists to the activation of such restrictions. I did not have access to the internet at the time of parking and, in the absence of visible signage, had no way of knowing that any event applied.
The signage currently in place does not comply with the required standards to adequately inform drivers of temporary or event-related restrictions. This lack of clear and visible notice renders enforcement unfair and non-compliant with the council’s statutory obligations.
I therefore respectfully request that the PCN be cancelled, and that the council reviews and improves the clarity and positioning of Event Day signage before further enforcement is pursued in this area.
Yours faithfully,
