Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / PCN Lambeth - 53 j - failing to comply with restriction zone
« on: Today at 03:22:05 pm »
Hi, I’m looking for some advice on multiple PCNs I’ve received from Lambeth for entering a pedestrian/school street zone on Sunnyhill Road.
I’ve recently received my first PCN (reduced to £80), but it was issued around 10–11 days after the contravention date. During that time, I continued to drive through the same road daily to get to work, completely unaware of the restriction.
I now realise this is a timed school street restriction, but the signage is positioned right at the turn, so I didn’t notice it at the time. I am also not from the local area.
Because the first PCN arrived late, I have unknowingly committed the same contravention multiple times before I had any opportunity to change my behaviour.
I’m concerned I could now receive multiple PCNs for the same mistake, potentially amounting to a large total I cannot afford.
My questions are:
* Can I argue “continuous contravention” or that multiple PCNs are disproportionate since I wasn’t aware of the restriction before receiving the first notice?
* Has anyone had success getting additional PCNs cancelled in similar circumstances?
For context, I have now stopped using the road during restricted hours as soon as I became aware.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
