Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for advice on how to proceed as I received a notice of rejection for an appeal I made to the council. I did not know about this website before appealing to the council which I now regret.


I received a PCN in September for entering a school street during restricted hours. I live in the school street and often need to do so. I received a PCN as my virtual permit had expired. The permit is free of cost and residents are exempt in the school street zones. https://www.havering.gov.uk/parking-2/parking-tickets-traffic-fines/5#schoolstreetexemptionpermit


The street view is not up to date as it is from 2021 and there are now clear signs on all sides of the roundabout.

I was naive enough to think that the PCN was issued due to automation however once a human saw that I lived within the school street they would cancel the PCN as my car was registered at the address according to DVLA records and I had a permit before and after the date of the contravention. The council did not lose any money due to my expired permit and the schools street scheme is not targeted towards residents. Unfortunately, I was mistaken and my appeal was rejected.


After reading up on some similar cases posted on this site, I noticed that my PCN was issued under the London Local Authorities & Transport for London Act 2003. This was also referenced in the notice of rejection I received.


However, entering a school street zone during the times of prohibition is an offence under the Traffic Management Act 2004. This is referenced on the Havering Council website. https://www.havering.gov.uk/parking-2/parking-tickets-traffic-fines/5


There is also no option to pay by post in the PCN.


I understand that I now have the chance to make additional representations to the adjudicator. Can I appeal to the adjudicator that the PCN is unenforceable or is it too late? Havering removes the discount if you appeal any PCN so I will not lose any extra, however any advice on the process would be much appreciated.


I have uploaded the complete PCN and NOR to google drive below.

Many thanks in advance.
