       right turn into Moss Hall Grove

       Good morning all. Today (5 Sep) my representation
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/15YeEXxse2heAAwb-7u7WWzbBzoXdIRyt/view<br
       />(send 15 Aug) has been rejected
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nPpaJQe-IfkcisqyrxnySAQdBI3H4PlZ/view.<br
       />Please could you advise if I should go to tribunal?
       Many thanks in advance. RN
       Notes:
       1) The letter
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nPpaJQe-IfkcisqyrxnySAQdBI3H4PlZ/view<br
       />says: 'We have carefully considered your comments and (where
       appropriate) the evidence you have supplied', but there are 0
       views for the youtube video
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YG1_uGgQsfMF2uJfGvTzwTeHthH7raUE/view<br
       />I uploaded as supporting evidence.
       2) The letter
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nPpaJQe-IfkcisqyrxnySAQdBI3H4PlZ/view<br
       />says: 'We are satisfied that the signs at this location
       conforms
       ... and clearly warn motorists of the restriction', but the sign
       is still obscured today, so it's unlikely that Barnet visited
       the location to investigate. I can only speculate that when
       Barnet says 'We are satisfied that the signs... clearly warn',
       it refers to the signs that appear in Barnet's photo/video
       evidence
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CH2HlLI_V8SKUQTYu9zjWSBqMEibithz/view<br
       />(on the mouth of Moss Hall Grove), rather than the obscured
       warning signs that I refer to in my representation (located
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jJj5mPkCtDarK_yGOHDbPERY0Yr2RICz/view<br
       />~70m before the right turn into Moss Hall Grove).

       Hi Marmite, I have the same issue and received three pcns for
       the same offence as two signs were obscured by the turn into
       Moss Hall Grove and I wasn't aware of the new restriction.  I
       included photographs showing how the overhanging tree obscured
       the sign but all  rejected by the council. Have you gone to
       tribunal?

       Good morning tanster - my deadline to appeal is 1 October and I
       am still undecided. I've messaged you directly to ask for more
       details of your rejections (but if you're happy to share then
       please post publically on this thread). Thanks a lot. RN

       Hello all. There were no replies to my post about Barnet's
       rejection so I'm writing again with more details.
       To summarise: I actually received 2 PCNs for 2 separate but
       identical contraventions - turning right from Nether Street to
       Moss Hall Grove and entering a Pedestrian Zone (link to map
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XeZECeiPL_2PRCusxzlq1QKYub_kQNSc/view).<br
       />The warning sign located ~70m before the turn was partially
       obscured by vegetation. The advice on the forum was to
       challenge, so I submitted 2 identical representations, linking
       to 2 separate but identical youtube videos
  HTML https://youtu.be/tb7zI656Q-whttps://youtu.be/tb7zI656Q-w
       (so
       that views could be monitored for each representation).
       In the representations (link here
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/15YeEXxse2heAAwb-7u7WWzbBzoXdIRyt/view)<br
       />I wrote that while driving north on Nether Street, the driver
       clearly saw the 1st warning sign (link to photo
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bQPJ4Cq9xx5jaTuod7-aBlcTp4ZwrjRw/view),<br
       />which warns about the 1st right-turn to Essex Park (link to
       map
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XeZECeiPL_2PRCusxzlq1QKYub_kQNSc/view),<br
       />but he didn't see the 2nd warning sign (link to photo
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RWlslNWKyZJO_E0gF0fwOQqalZb36uV6/view)<br
       />which warns about the next right-turn to Moss Hall Grove
       because
       is was obscured. By the time the driver turned right into Moss
       Hall Grove and saw the signs at the entrance of the pedestrian
       zone it was too late (link to photo
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FgmZ-WfuKSMBqPUE5YW8HI1oMkQCqSLi/view).<br
       />I then quoted LATOR, and asked for the PCN to be cancelled.
       Barnet rejected both representations (link to rejection letter
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/18FAGgLRnEiOAYRJL4DbTfY_hPF8psujC/view,<br
       />please download to read clearly). They chose (presumably on
       purpose) not to address the issue of the obscured warning sign
       at all. Instead, they wrongly stated that I had claimed that the
       sign on the right at the entrance to Moss Hall Grove was
       obscured, and stated that as these signs are not obscured
       therefore the contraventions did occur. Quote:
       1st rejection: 'In your response, you stated that, the signage
       on the right hand side of the road is obscured...'
       2nd rejection: 'There are clear and compliant signs on display
       at the entrance to the road...'
       Barnet also said that they considered the evidence, but the
       youtube videos have 0 views
  HTML https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YG1_uGgQsfMF2uJfGvTzwTeHthH7raUE/view.<br
       />Quote:
       1st rejection: 'After careful consideration of the evidence put
       before us...'
       2nd rejection: 'We have carefully considered your comments and
       (where apropriate) the evidence you have supplied...'
       I now face the decision whether to go to tribunal. The case, as
       far as I can figure, is not clear-cut of inadequate signage and
       the decision could go wither way.
       Your advice on how to proceed is greatly appreciated. Many
       thanks. RN

       Only the warning sign is partially obscured !
       It's important to understand the layout and the signs involved -
       please see my detailed explanation in my last post.
