Although ECP seem to have this WELL hidden on their website!

2 is wrong - the restriction was in force; the argument there is that the signage is inadequate / misleading

I agree that's likely what it will become but right now from our perspective, we entered outside the enforcement period (and wouldn't appealing initially on this basis adds strength to the argument that it's misleading?)

Ah, yes, that's seems a reasonable plan, but no doubt they will just reject it out of hand and say it was in force - you could maybe expand that you were informed access was OK at the time of the alleged contravention, and read the sign that way, but subsequent research has suggested that in fact the reverse is true, and the signs do not convey this in the short time available to read them as a motorist driving - also as far as I can see in GSV (Oct 24) there is no advanced warning, nor any signage at the junction that there is no access; and the signs are pretty well hidden behind the lights as you approach (and have to cross the bus lane)

Spot the restriction sign!

Eats, shoots, and leaves! 

There is a proposed new TRO to extend the restrictions on the high street to Sundays and BHs:  https://www.medway.gov.uk/downloads/file/9692/proposed_tro_for_rochester_high_street

The idea (I think) is normally access to that section of road is from the other end, but 10-4 Saturdays that is pedestrian only, so they have allowed access from this end on Saturday 10-4.

This looks like one of those cases where (as Gov agencies like to do) they have tried to dumb down things, but ended up making it so complicated in double speak that it's actually harder to understand.

I think it's supposed to say:

No vehicles
10 am - 4 pm
Except for access
on Saturdays

Based on the above that's not right either, better might have been:

No Vehicles except for:
Access only on Saturdays 10am - 4pm

If they implement the new TRO, it will be even more complicated and confusing!!

It possible / probable the NTK went to the original lease co, depending on dates.  Probably best to submit a Data Rectification Notice to APCOA advising them of the current address for service and instructing them to update their records and to delete any previous address.  Refer only the PCN reference number and as keeper.  Last thing you want is for APCOA to go to court (should they change MO!) with the wrong address and it gets missed because it goes somewhere else.  No keeper liability on the airport so there is a defence if needed - as long as you don't reveal the driver's identity!  No harm in submitting a complaint (as keeper!) that you didn't get the original NTK, that there is no keeper liability due to airport, and inviting them to cancel it.  APCOA often roll over when confronted with this.

If you post up the council, car reg number and PCN number there's a good chance we can look at it online.

Search the forum for Airport and statutory control and you will find plenty of examples. They can't rely on Protection of Freedoms act so there is no route to keeper liability. Do not ID the driver to them!

Here I think, manhole is under the back of the Discovery:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/9TYcc4SLWF4jkKi68

Are there other pictures on Nexus's website?

Does the fact it was after 16:00 anyway mean there should never have been a PCN?

No, because the restriction applies at all times except Saturday 10 - 4. But I had to read it 3 times to understand that; and I'm not driving!
