Bus Lane PCN Nottingham

Hi all,
A family member has received a PCN through the post (image
below).
No question about the contravention, mistakenly took the first
left into a bus lane. However, I wish to appeal for them on the
basis of Procedural Impropriety. The PCN doesn't state what the
road is or that the contravention is using a bus lane during
controlled hours - just 34: being in a bus lane. Furthermore it
deviates from legislation allowing 14 days to pay at 50% and
instead gives more days, 21 - while this benefits the RK it
still isn't following legislation - please can you let me know
if my points are valid for some Reps - if not the RK will just
pay the payment.
**UPDATE** Just realised that the road itself is called Hockley
so that point is no longer valid.

Another update, just found out that postal PCNs are 21 days at
50% so looks like the RK should just pay - but if there are any
other views they'd be very much appreciated.

There is a No Left Turn sign on the LH traffic light array, then
the blue Buses Only sign a little way beyond, so correctly
signed I suppose, but an advance warning sign would not come
amiss. In addition, their photos (from the video), do not show
you passing a restriction sign. You could submit this as
representations, but be aware that Nottingham are one of the
more venal and rapacious councils, and do not re-offer the
discount when responding to reps.
Furthermore, the location information is not sufficiently
detailed to support the PCN, as "Hockley" is an area of several
streets all with different names.

So why, with the signs in place, did you drive into the bus lane
?

Thanks Incandescent, I watched the video and was asking the same
question (of the RK) - no idea how they missed the signs. As it
is a £35 PCN (at 50%) it will be better to just put this to bed
- the RK has no question about the contravention - but I thought
there was a bit of Proc Imp - I also looked on Google Maps,
looks like Hockley is a street name.
Thanks for your help.
