Hi there.
I live in the area and have successfully appealed this spot at the Tribunal in 2024. I think they have updated the signage since then with two signs rather than one. But happy to offer my skeleton argument and learnings.
They have now placed two terminal signs but the advanced signage is still too small as far as I recall from 16 months ago. I have won cases on the previous signs and their appalling website which has now been changed. There is however a technical challenge re the PCN wording.

2. : I make this further collateral challenge:
Payment Options: The PCN fails to clearly offer a "payment by post" option as required for a valid notice of this type.

We've seen this location quite a few times, but I'm not sure how appeals to London Tribunals worked out. The council obviously say NO to all reps they receive. You could try looking at the London Tribunals statutory register using the location as your search argument.

PCN ZY21249137

Code 52M Failing to Comply with a prohibition of certain motor vehicles
As the time was close to school pick up times and there a multitude of school streets in the area I was trying to pick a route to avoid restrictions.
I do not feel the signage for this restriction, in amongst all the other restrictions in the local area was sufficient.
