You went past the signs twice so by the letter of the law there are two contraventions.
However your best bet IMO is to make a plea for discretion requesting that they allow you to pay one PCN at the discounted rate. This is the only scenario where I'd suggest sending a letter in the post, because if they only log it against one of the PCNs you then get the other one cancelled based on a failure to consider.
Also if you have any meaningful mitigation please tell us now.
Lastly please re-post the remaining pages of the PCN, for some reason they don't load up. I suggest you just upload them to your google drive folder and let us know when that's been done.

Station Parade Barking is a well-known cash cow for the council. If you approach from the roundabout end there's a couple of signs prohibiting motor vehicles except buses. From the other end the signs are each side of the road. I've not been round there for a few months so signs may have been improved since then, but they were not particularly outstanding.
I'd say there should only be 1 pcn as there's only one offence if you've been in and done a U turn.

Please post the remainder of one (assuming they're identical) of the PCNs.

Hello,
I have just recieved 2 PCN notices for failing to comply with a prohibition minutes apart. (10:58 and 11:01)
This was my first time travelled to Barking. I had to drop off my partner at the station and then had to do a uturn . i can honeslty say that i was not aware of any signs i could see visible that woud have warned me before that there was no through access to longbridge road.
i woud appreciate if any experts out there think i have a case as reading through some cases this seems to be the case where the drivers seem to miss the signage or are not warned beforehand turning into station parade.
i have 14 days from the 20/10/23 to make a representation and would apprecate any help.
below are the PCN and video links. Thank you in advance,
