Free Traffic Legal Advice

Hi,

I’d appreciate some advice on whether I have grounds to appeal this PCN.

I turned right from Stockwell Gardens into Lingham Street. At the junction there is a sign stating that motor vehicles are prohibited during School Street hours: 08:15–09:15 and 14:45–15:45, Monday to Friday.

Further down Lingham Street, before the camera/traffic filter, I saw another sign referring to the School Street hours. As it was approximately 14:34 when I passed through, I understood that the restriction was not in operation and continued through.

I’ve now received a 52m PCN for “failing to comply with a prohibition on certain types of vehicle (motor vehicles)”. I am likely to receive another PCN as I drove the same way later that day under the similar assumptions.

I’ve attached the PCN and a Google Maps image showing the signage at the entrance. Unfortunately, the second sign isn’t visible on the current Google Maps imagery.

Am I misunderstanding the restrictions here? Is there a separate 24-hour restriction at the traffic filter, and if so, do I have any grounds to appeal given the timed signage on the approach?

Thanks!

Should this not be classified as a major keying error and as such be offered an administrative fee of £20 or similar?

Thanks - anyone else. Do I have ground to win in a formal appeal / Tribunal or should I just cough up 80 GBP for an honest mistake.

This is perfect, thank you. I submitted an informal appeal will keep you posted.

Any feedback or amends for the informal appeal? Thank you

Totally different reg to the PCN

I entered the reg into the wrong field and it copied one of the previous visitors regs. You can see that in the e-mail. I did not clock this. It is an honest mistake.

Do I stand a chance?

Thanks

Why am I getting charged multi-permit residential in Lambeth?

We have one car, I had a monthly rolling subscription but have cancelled it as my bank would always decline and I would need to go back in portal and pay. Friday I got email that my last monthly permit expired. I went to renew yesterday and for any permit, it is showing multi-permit surchange.

Wrote to Lambeth parking services but they are closed for the weekend.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks. I see I can make representation online. Happy to send informal representation plus paragraph above as well as photos taken the night off showing no signage at 65 and 75. Anything to add before I submit?

Post your proposed text for a review, if you want.

I reside in Lambeth and have a resident permit with permission to park on Bavent Road.

On the day in question, I arrived at my house on Bavent Road, parked and went to my house at 68 Bavent Road. Neither of the parking bay signs near my car, which are located at 65 or 75, had any temporary suspension sign attached to them.  A motorist is entitled to take the parking conditions on the bay sign nearest to his car on the side where parked as valid.

In view of the failure of the council adequately to sign the suspension, I request that the PCN be cancelled.

The council in their response to my informal challenge have totally ignored the points made in that challenge, thus committing a procedural impropriety of failure to consider, one of their statutory duties within the relevant regulations.
