Any discretion from the borough?
Signage was not clear?

Do I have a case to challenge on just on signage?
I have had a look at the other posts regarding 'Station Parade'
and yes I agree it seems this is being used as a cash cow route!
With 2 different PCNs on the same day, 15 mins apart, I guess a
polite letter via post informing them if they can consider using
some discretion, maybe cancel one of them? 1st time offence may
be? :-\

Best if you submit reps for both PCNs citing total unfamiliarity
with the area and point out it is a rather disproportionate
penalty for contraventions only 15 minutes apart, when you were
trying to find somewhere to park to pick up a friend from the
station. You might get lucky and get one cancelled. Main thing
is not to just cough-up t he discount

Dear London Borough of Barking & Dagenham,
I write in regards to the penalty charge notices (PCNs) Barking
& Dagenham 52M Failing to comply with a prohibition on certain
types of vehicles on station Parade (Barking), the vehicle haven
been seen and recorded by road-side cameras in the hours of
20:11hrs on 23/06/2024 and 47J Stopped on restricted bus stop or
stand (Camera Enforcement) recorded in the hours of 20:27hrs on
the 23/06/2024.
I accept that the council has the right to issue the PCNs for
the contraventions. I would however like to ask the borough to
be mindful of proportionality in pursuing its statutory rights
in this case. As can be seen from the PCNs the contraventions
occurred on the same day and 15 minutes within minutes of each
other in the evening of Sunday 20:11hrs and 20:26hrs as per the
image captures, also being totally unfamiliar with the area,
first time driving through the stretch of road named Station
parade, guided by a SAT NAV is rather a disproportionate penalty
for contraventions only 15 minutes apart, trying to find
somewhere to park to pick up a friend from the Barking Station,
and dropping off where signage is not the best and can be
misinterpreted as everybody perceives and digests information
differently.
I would appreciate if Barking & Dagenham council would exercise
some discretion on the occasion, as with this add further
financial burden.
The objective of the PCN, which is to enforce moving traffic
restrictions, is adequately served by one PCN. I am obviously
now aware of the restrictions and will not be making the same
mistake again, so it could be said that the lesson has been
learnt.
In the circumstances, I invite the council to consider the
totality of the circumstances and allow me to pay one of the
penalty charges at the discounted rate of £55, and cancelling
the other PCN.
Yours faithfully,

Looks OK to me
PS: Be more careful when you use a sat-nav again in a big city,
because they are never up-to-date.
