I received 2 PCNs in the same week as I travelled to work at Lewisham Hospital.
I usually travel on the major roads into work but that particular week the south circular was causing major tailbacks and all roads were blocked so I used the Leahurst Westbound approach. I wasn't aware of the westbound restriction and the signage did not alert my attention to the potential issue, given so many other roads in the surrounding area do alert you to any potential violations. I was issued with 2 PCN’s having travelled on the same stretch of road twice that week thank god I did get a fine after that otherwise it would have been a higher number of PCNs.
I appealed using some of the advice I found on this website, but both appeals have been rejected. I can either pay the £130, or challenge it further but face the prospect that it could go up to £260, a gamble I can ill afford. I really need some advice or where to go with this, am I wasting my time? I have revisited the signage and its incredibly poor and not clear. It also baffles me why one side allows cars and the other side does not given my return journey involves me travelling via the eastbound stretch.
I would very much appreciate some advice on what my options are with an appeal given its really stressing me out. Thank you!
original PCN one of them but its effectively the same times 2
