Free Traffic Legal Advice

So this is the first advanced warning that I missed as there were cars parked on both sides and oncoming traffic. Please see first 3 photos.

2nd photo on next post is the 2nd advanced warning which just shows some times - to be honest I didn't even look up at it whilst driving - its a busy road.

Last two photos on next post shows firstly my view before turning right, and then a full on direct view if one was perpendicular to the road.

Hi. I've been advised to post here as opposed to peppipoo.

I will add more info as and when I can. I get home late so tough to get video and signage pictures until weekend.

I drove from west to east on Kenwood Gardens. Somehow didn't see the advanced warning signs..maybe as there were too many parked cars and I was watching the street.

I turned right on to SUNNYMEDE DRIVE (incorrectly spelt Sunnymeade Drive on the PCN). I saw the sign after I turned right, read the time and looked at the clock in my car. Having realised I wasn't allowed through, I stopped and reversed out. The time was approx 15.55.

Can I contest this on the grounds that the road name was spent incorrectly? Surely if their mistake is allowed, then they can allow my mistake in taking that right turn.

The photo and video can be seen via the site www.redbridge.gov.uk/parkingpcn

I will take my own video and photos on Saturday and post.

It was a genuine mistake. I am usually at work during the week days and never use these roads during usually. My wife had a scooter accident two days prior and I was picking my son up from Gantshill station on the way to Queens Hospital in Romford. I guess the council won't care why!

Should I contest or just pay?
Also, should they give me 21 days to pay the reduced amount due to it being a CCTV capture?

Please let me know if any other info needed.

Thank you!
