Thank you for your response.

To answer your questions:

1. I submitted two representations in total — one for the first PCN (MT03029885, 29 March) and a separate one for the second
and third PCNs (MT03063205 and MT03063679, both 3 April) which
arrived together.

2. My mother did not receive the first PCN before she drove through again on 3 April, so she was unaware of the contravention when the second and third PCNs were incurred.

3. We are prepared to appeal to London Tribunals but would like to strengthen our case with additional relevant tribunal decisions beyond Barani. Could you point us to the case about blue advance signs not being proper traffic signs, and any
Other relevant decisions that have succeeded on similar grounds at this location or for similar 52J contraventions in Merton?

We want to go into the appeal as well prepared as possible.

Can I ask how you got on with this appeal  ?   (have a similar thread in the same area)

tidied the office  ... eventually found the pcn ON THE WALL !!

From 1st May. We drove into the new (to us) zone before the penny dropped that it was not a through road anymore  ... so turned around and went back the way we came so DID comply with the instruction (eventually!)   


the council have rejected our appeal on the basis that signage was bad and they didnt respond to the "returned the way we came" point  .... we are now would appreciate some help to appeal to the independent adjudicator.
