       53j- failing with a restriction entering pedestrian zone.

       Hi Everyone,
       My brother entered springfield road as he forgot something at
       home. He lives on this road and he just wasn't paying attention
       to the time.
       I appealed to croydon council explaining the situation that he
       lives on that road, as they would be able to tell from the NTO,
       also explaining that he didn't know that he had to register his
       car. I asked for discretion but they rejected.
       Is there any other thing that i could go on with this fine?
       This is the original NTO

       Show us what you wrote please. NOR fails to mention the adj. can
       extend time in which to appeal.
       As before, website is rubbish:
       View reasons
       PCN number:CR20657780Contravention number:53j
       Click your reason or search for it below
       I wasn't aware of the rules
       I was picking up/dropping off a passenger
       it was an emergency
       my satnav misdirected me
       using cameras to catch drivers isn't fair
       this is a hire car - the hirer should pay
       Search all reasons
       penalty exceeded amount
       I never received the PCN
       explain why my PCN was given
       I'm challenging my PCN late because...
       the CCTV system/operator made a mistake
       I never received the PCN or Notice to Owner
       I've already paid - in cash
       I've already paid - by cheque
       I've already paid - by credit card
       I've already paid - by postal order
       you've overcharged me
       I've been away so didn't know the charge was increasing - can I
       pay less?
       I'm short of money - can I pay less?
       I've changed address so didn't know the charge was increasing -
       can I pay less?
       **
       Happy to do this one for you.

       Hi [member=24]Hippocrates[/member]
       My apologies, i didn't take a picture of the adjudicator form
       they sent with the NTO rejection, which this time is one for a
       moving traffic contravention. I will post that form up tomorrow.
       The appeal was as follows.

       [member=47]Torenaga[/member] there's no need to post the appeal
       form, if Hippocrates is representing your brother then he'll
       file the appeal online anyway.

       Hi Cp.
       Sorry, Just a misunderstanding on my behalf, as i thought that
       hippocrates was referring to the rejection letter not including
       the form for the adjudicator. My mistake.
       Kind regards

       Given the council's rejection of your initial appeal, consider
       the following steps:
       Review the Traffic Management Order (TMO): Analyse Croydon
       Council's Traffic Management Order for Springfield Road.
       Identify any exemptions for residents that may not have been
       properly communicated, highlighting procedural unfairness.
       Mitigating Circumstances: If escalating to an independent
       adjudicator, argue that your brother's lack of awareness was a
       reasonable mistake based on the expectation that a resident
       should not need repeated administrative approval to access their
       own street.
       Proof of Residency: Provide evidence like utility bills to
       support that your brother's entry was an honest mistake based on
       a reasonable assumption of access rights as a resident.
       Proportionality Assessment: Emphasise that the enforcement was
       disproportionate, as your brother's mistake posed no safety risk
       or inconvenience to others, arguing for a more lenient response.
       Seek Formal Appeal Assistance:  Hippocrates, whose expertise
       lies in this field, or a solicitor specialising in traffic law
       to review for procedural errors or further appeal options.
       In appealing to the adjudicator, focus on equity,
       proportionality, and your brother's genuine misunderstanding as
       a resident.
       My 2p.

       Not necessary as the appeal was allowed on the basis of the
       'adequacy' of the signage which did not, in this adjudicator's
       opinion and based only upon the evidence adduced by the
       authority in the circumstances of this case alone, meet the
       requirements specified in LATOR.
