Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN-London Borough Lewisham-52M-Leahurst Road Westbound

Request for representation
Sorry - I thought I should make that clear from the beginning.
I have received a PCN for the same location. I initially appealed using the granted appeals above as a basis. This was rejected by the local authority and I have now appealed to the tribunal service. The appeal wording is below.
Please could I request representation? Hearing is to take place on a Tuesday in November. Happy to be messaged privately if someone is able to help.
Thankyou :-)
An adjudicator has previously allowed an appeal
under case number 2240047190 at this location for the following reasons:
"I am allowing this appeal because I am not satisfied that the signage is adequate to
alert motorists to the prohibited route. The CCTV footage shows a single no entry to
motor vehicles sign on the left hand side of the road. The sign is placed at the end of the
traffic island and, in my judgement, is unlikely to be seen by the motorist until they have
entered the island carriageway by which time there is no means of avoiding entry into
the prohibited route. The motorist's attention on the approach is likely to be on the island
sign directing traffic to bear to the left of the sign. There is an advance sign which is a
blue rectangular sign with a small no entry to motor vehicles roundel for 50 yards ahead.
This sign is placed at the far edge of the pavement on the right hand side of the road
adjacent to parking bays and could easily be missed by a driver in the carriageway to
the left. In my judgement, this sign is no substitute for adequate signage at the entrance
to the prohibited route."
I wish to challenge the PCN that has been issued to my vehicle for the reasons outlined
by the adjudicator above. It appears that none of the signage or road layout has been
changed since the adjudicator made the above findings.
I would also like to draw attention to the no entry to motor vehicles sign. Both the photos
and video footage seem to show that the sign is not perpendicular to the carriageway
and is angled towards the buildings on the left making it difficult to see from a low down
drivers position in a right hand drive vehicle.
I am also aware of further successful appeals that have been granted by the
adjudicator, namely appeal numbers 2240220841 and 2240328826 both of which found
the signage at this location to be inadequate.
I kindly request that you take into account the above information and allow this appeal.
