Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: 53J Momentarily entered school street in Islington

It does sound like the odds of winning this is less than 50%, I only have another couple days left to take this to the Adjudicators, so I am leaning on saving myself doubling the fine and paying the reduced rate tonight/tomorrow.

Thanks you for trying to help @stamfordman and @Hippocrates, really appreciate it.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / 53J Momentarily entered school street in Islington

Hi All,

I have already appealed this case and have received a letter rejecting my appeal. As I technically did enter the school street (turned around and left within 10 seconds), I was looking for advise if it is worth taking to the tribunal or if I am just wasting my time and money.

Penalty Charge Notice:
[ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]


My appeal was as follows:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing with regards to the above mentioned PCN. I am a long-standing resident of Richmond Avenue, which adjoins Matilda Street, and I hold a valid Zone E parking permit. While I fully support the school street restriction, especially as a parent myself, I rarely drive on weekdays and have always taken care to comply with local traffic rules.

On this occasion, I had an early morning appointment and, while returning home via Caledonian Road, I encountered an unexpected closure on Offord Road, which would usually provide access via Hemingford Road. I followed a diversion through Copenhagen Street, which led me inadvertently onto Matilda Street.

As soon as I turned in, I noticed the triangle shaped school warning sign and immediately realised the restriction might be in effect, even though no children or parents were present at the time. I stopped without passing the sign, then carefully reversed and exited the road the way I had entered.

This was an honest mistake in unusual traffic conditions, and I trust you will agree there was no intent to contravene the restriction. I have attached dashcam footage (https://drive.proton.me/urls/3YNTTT7D8C#QDOxeLmkLKq5) showing my actions, and I understand you may also wish to review your own CCTV footage for verification.

Given my longstanding compliance, valid resident permit, and prompt corrective action, I respectfully ask that you consider exercising discretion and cancel the PCN on this occasion.

Thank you for your time and understanding in considering my representation.

Yours faithfully,


The rejection:
