Multiple PCNs for the same School Streets zone in Lambeth
(Rosendale Rd)

Hi,
My wife has been visiting her mother in hospital daily and
recently received a PCN for driving through a pedestrian
area/school zone in Lambeth (Rosendale Rd). She had not seen
the signage (it is quite new, not yet on Google Maps), held her
hands up and paid it straight away.
Today she received another PCN for the same offence, and is now
worried there are more to follow - it appears that it's taken 2
weeks for the PCN to arrive.
Obviously once that she was aware of the zone she avoided that
route (unfortunately Google Maps routed her that way initially),
but I was wondering if it would be worth an appeal to ask if
there was a chance of mitigation on further PCNs. Reasoning
being that she has paid the initial PCN immediately, but further
infractions were made before the first ticket arrived, not
giving her the chance to modify her behaviour.
I know it is a long shot but it was an innocent mistake; we all
know how much extraneous signage there is around London,
especially when you are driving around an area you are not
familiar with. She is well aware of her mistake and is not
trying to wriggle out of it; however I wondered if there might
be any chance of mitigation. She is under a lot of pressure
regarding her mother's health, and she is currently engaged in a
separate battle with another council and a private parking
company regarding a very similar car that has cloned her plates.
She is receiving almost daily tickets for this car!
Google suggests that it is worth an appeal - my hopes aren't
high but she has enough on her plate at the moment. I would
appreciate any thoughts.

Check online or telephone Lambeth and ask for details of all
PCNs outstanding against your reg mark.
Please give us a timeline of the dates she used that route, with
with for each numbers of any PCN received/outstanding.
Payinmg the 1st PCN closes that case. Please post up a copy of
all sides of the next PCN (only redact yr name & address - leave
all else in)
and a GSV link to the location.

Thanks for the reply - as I say she is not denying she went
through, hence paying the first one without delay.
Unfortunately it is quite new and GSV doesn't have images of the
signage - pics are from August '22.
I have checked her dash cam but it doesn't go back far enough.
It is frustrating that it seems to have taken them 13 days from
date of offence to the date of PCN. Looking at her google
location we reckon there may be 2 or 3 more in the pipeline :'(
It just seems so unfair - google maps seem to have some of these
zones registered but not others.
Edit: I have just noticed that it took a whole month for them to
send the first PCN! That used to be a getout for speeding
offences if you didn't receive it within 14 days!
I will try to upload some info later but I'm not sure it gives
any more info. Photos are tiny and grainy and although there is
an identical car driving around S London with her plates on she
knows it was her.

However:
[i]1)Subject to the provisions of this section, no penalty
charge notice may be served under this Act after the expiry of
the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the
alleged contravention or failure to comply occurred.

..unless...
Is your mother the registered keeper and are her DVLA details
current?
