Hi,
I received a penalty charge notice from Wandsworth council with the following alleged traffic contravention:
50L Performing a prohibited turn no left turn (Camera Enforcement)
WIMBLEDON PARK SIDE JCT. INNER PARK ROAD (N) SW19
Date and Time of PCN: 2024-06-26 09:41:22
Here are the first few photos from the evidence:
The photos are snapshots of the video which just shows me making that left turn into that road.
This is the location where the turn was made:

This is the location where the signage was:

The photo and video evidence does not show this signage in any form so there is no evidence of the signage provided during the time of contravention.
I intend to appeal the decision explaining that the signage is not provided in the evidence and ask them to produce it.
My question is do I have a good case here if the sign is clearly not in the evidence photo/videos?
If they do reject my appeal but provide no additional evidence to show the signage at the time of the contravention with my car there, do I then have a good fighting chance to appeal it further with an independent adjudicator?
The first appeal I understand is free essentially as I can still pay the reduced fare but the independent appeal I believe requires you to pay the full charge if rejected which ideally I don't want to push to if my case is weak.
Many thanks in advance.
