I received the same PCN on the 30/04 and decided to appeal it, i am going to court on the 23/07/24
on the basis of the following:
According to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016 (TSRGD 2016), traffic signs must be clear, visible, and in good condition to be enforceable. Without adequate proof of visibility, the enforcement of the PCN is not valid.
Furthermore, under the Traffic Management Act 2004, the burden of proof lies with the council to demonstrate that the signage was compliant and visible at the time of the contravention. The Google Maps images referenced by the council do not constitute real-time evidence and are therefore insufficient to establish the visibility of the signage on the date in question.
The fact remains, there is zero proof that the sign was visible on the date and time of the contravention
