I have received a PCN from Southwark Council for entering Burbage Road from Turney Road to attend a cycling lesson for my little boy at the Velodrome. I'd like to appeal and wouldn't mind a bit of help if possible.
I live in West Norwood and although local, I don't know the Herne Hill area enormously well. I had been to the Velodrome for lessons twice on consecutive Saturdays and then my Wife booked a 4pm lesson on a Monday as it was the school holidays. I didn't register on the Saturday visits that there was a restriction in place on the road during weekdays, AM and PM. TomTom took me a different route to the Saturdays and I didn't realise there was an issue until I turned into Burbage Road and the road turned red on screen. The turn into the Velodrome's only entrance and its public car park is approx 60 metres into Burbage Road as you can see from the photos. I have a receipt for the lesson and this is also linked.
Where do I stand on this? Can anyone offer any help?

I can't say I paid much attention to the big sign on Turney Road as I glanced at SatNav as it told me to turn left. On turning into Burbage Road, the smaller signs are angled such that you can't actually see them and are covered by trees on approach. This is apparent in the supplied photos. I’ve now viewed the video which shows me travelling a tiny portion of the road and cuts before I indicate to turn right into the Velodrome. I read that Southwark have lost a few cases regarding Burbage Road recently so hope that works in my favour. Links to that provided.
I'd expect them to support the amenities they have instead of screwing over their customers. I'm taking a 6 year old to a cycling lesson and don't wish to park miles from the venue when it has parking facilities on site. Surely this is safer for the kids too. To be clear, the lesson started at 4pm and we all have to safely cross the outer ring of the Velodrome for it. We have to arrive earlier to be on a painted line at 4pm or we forfeit the lesson and fee.






Hope that all links up and thanks in advance for any assistance you might provide. As you can see, I drive a 12 year old Subaru so I’m the kind of man who’d like to avoid handing over my hard earned English Pounds to the ‘Man’ for such a minor infraction.
