Thank you.

OK, so I suggest you submit reps on the basis that the restriction signs are not visible to a motorist turning left into the restricted zone due to them being side-on on the approach. In addition, they are mounted ridiculously high so as to be barely noticeable when turning when an experienced motorist will have his attention elsewhere.

I did not see any advance signage.

That GSV view is 2018, so well out-of-date. The video shows you turning here and driving past the new "Flying Motorbike" signs. You turned left into Steventon Road; was there an advance warning sign as you approached ?
-
This shows the previous sign: - is this worth appealing?

Furthermore, the article says:
We will be installing monitoring-only cameras on Old Oak Road, Bloemfontein Road and Ellerslie Road.
This will allow us to monitor any changes in traffic volumes and driver behaviour. These cameras will not issue fines. They'll collect data to help us understand traffic patterns during the trial.

As said by 'davidmcn', the video shows you passing two prominent "Flying Motorbike" signs, with a qualifier sign below that allows taxis and permit holders to pass. These signs mean No Entry for motorvehicles. So where is this sign saying "Controlled Zone V Mon-Fri 9am-5pm" ? It sounds like another, separate CPZ entry sign which is irrelevant.
Anyway, for full advice, please read this and update your thread accordingly:-

I feel there was no contravention, since the sign when entering the road states "Controlled Zone V Mon-Fri 9am-5pm". The alleged contravention was on 24/01/2026 at 14.18, which was a Saturday. Furthermore, I found this: https://www.lbhf.gov.uk/news/2026/01/trial-make-wormholt-safer-and-quieter
It says "A new neighbourhood improvement trial in the Wormholt area is being enforced with PCN fines from 5 January. It will continue to cut congestion and pollution. Out-of-borough motorists have received warning notices about the scheme since 5 November."
I assume I am one of the out of Borough motorists? ; but there is no signage to this effect.
You can read the (current) signage on the video - it's no motor vehicles at any time, except taxis and permit holders.

Hi, I wonder if you can help me?. I want to know whether it is worth submitting a Representation?. I received today from LB H&F a PCN Number HZ96809725. My Vehicle Reg is LM66UOK.You can view the images at www.lbhf.gov.uk/pcnimages. In my defence/grounds for representations, I feel there was no contravention, since the sign when entering the road states "Controlled Zone V Mon-Fri 9am-5pm". The alleged contravention was on 24/01/2026 at 14.18, which was a Saturday. Furthermore, I found this: https://www.lbhf.gov.uk/news/2026/01/trial-make-wormholt-safer-and-quieter

I assume I am one of the out of Borough motorists? ; but there is no signage to this effect.
What is your opinion please?, thanking you.
