To my mind, they have just responded with a generic paragraph that completely avoids the statutory requirement.  They have again referred to the date of service not the date of the notice

Also am I right in thinking that they are referring to the wrong part of the legislation as they are making reference to Charge Certificates?

What is the next step and do you think that it is sensible to proceed with fighting this?  What are the chances of success?

Many thanks

The previous appeals were successful despite the presence of that sign though.

Is it worth trying?

My wife was visiting an area that she used to live in but had not been back to for a few years. 

She turned right into Perrymans Farm Road to drive past her old school, not realising that is now restricted at certain times to pedestrians and cycles only.

Given the positioning of the restriction signs which are right at the entrance to the road, and parallel to the main road, they are almost impossible to read.  This is exacerbated by the fact that there is a yellow box there so her focus was on navigating that as she was waiting for a car to let her through.


Please can someone advise if she has good grounds for an appeal and the chances of being successful

(The "Term time" wording mentioned in these cases has now been covered over by a blue sticker)

Front and back of PCN:




We took some photos today from which you can see that the signs are extremely difficult to read from the road position when turning right as they are positioned so close to the main road, unlike the 20mph restriction signs that are set back and able to be read before turning



Here is a dashcam video taken today that shows the same.  The signs are almost impossible to read by someone in a moving car up to and throughout the turn.  Bear in mind that the dashcam is from a position to the left of the driver (as are the photos as they were taken by a passenger)so from the driver's perspective they signs are even less visible



Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
