Waltham Forest PCN – Code 32T – Coppermill Lane E17 – Advice
Requested
DIR By: kali2026

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone,
I have received a PCN from Waltham Forest for Contravention Code
32T at Coppermill Lane E17.
I have watched the CCTV video. I can clearly see the “TURN LEFT”
road marking, but I cannot identify any visible blue mandatory
left-turn sign from my approach. The CCTV stills also don’t
appear to show the sign.
Before I decide whether to pay or appeal, could anyone please
review my PCN and CCTV and advise whether the signage appears
compliant? Has anyone successfully challenged a PCN at this
location on the basis that the mandatory sign was not adequately
visible?
Thank you.

Where is it and the PCN? Website has wrong grounds on it.

Hi Incandescent,
Thank you for looking at my case.
The alleged contravention occurred at Coppermill Lane E17
(junction with Blackhorse Road).
I have now uploaded all four pages of the PCN together with the
CCTV video and screenshots. (

)
Could you please explain what you mean by "Website has wrong
grounds on it"? Are you referring to the council's online
representations page or to the wording on the PCN itself?
Many thanks.

Google Maps is out of date, but Apple Maps shows that the
mandatory left turn sign exists.
If you want to claim that it isn’t there it might be a good idea
to go back and have a look.

My concern is not that Google Maps directed me that way, but
that from my approach I did not notice a clearly visible
mandatory blue left-turn sign. I only became aware of the issue
after receiving the PCN and reviewing the CCTV.

I meant that Google Maps Street View doesn’t show the sign, but
that Apple Maps Lookaround does show the sign. So it appears
that the sign exists and that you will need to depend on other
avenues to appeal.

Thanks. I can see that Apple Maps Look Around appears to show a
sign, so I am not going to argue that the sign definitely was
not there. My point is that it was not clearly visible from the
driver’s approach in the CCTV footage. I am now looking at other
potential grounds of appeal and would welcome any advice on the
strongest point in this PCN.
