Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Penalty Charge Notice 53J - Entering a pedestrian zone (Croydon Council)
« on: October 24, 2025, 01:15:00 pm »Hi everyone,
I've received a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from Croydon Council for contravention code 53J - Failing to comply with a restriction on vehicles entering a pedestrian zone. It says the alleged contravention was detected by camera CR999 on Spurgeon Rd, SE19 (by Beulah Hill) at 09:10:36 on 07/10/2025, and is supported by recorded footage. The fine is £160, reduced to £80 if paid within 14 days. Before I pay, I`d like to know if there's any legitimate way to challenge or appeal this notice, especially if the signage or camera enforcement might not be fully compliant. Any advice or experiences with similar Croydon PCNs would be greatly appreciated!
