The OP said reps were sent, whether they were made is to be
determined. We don't know to what email address, how this was
obtained, from whom, with what assurances, if any, their form
and when.
OP, pl let's try and establish these details pl.
Or is this is now off thread?

Subject: Representations AF3....... (tried to submit this via
website on 15th Dec)
Dear Sir Madam,
I am writing to formally challenge the Penalty Charge Notice
(PCN) number AF...... issued to myself for allegedly failing to
comply with traffic restrictions on Cleveland Rd, Ilford IG1. I
believe that this charge has been unfairly issued and wish to
present my case for your consideration.
Firstly the sign indicating the restriction against traffic is
not of the 'hinged' type that should be only visible during
School Term Time. This type of sign has not received
authorisation as suitable signage to traffic outside of the
School zone, from the Department of Transport, rending the PCN
here null and void.
Secondly when attempting to make an online representation
against this PCN, the website fetters discretion with regards to
the grounds allowed. The LB Redbridge website indicates which
grounds will not be considered here, and a public body should
not adopt such a rigid policy that prevents it from exercising
discretion in individual cases. I attach screenshots from the LB
Redbridge website.
Finally the online representation page fetters to only one
ground only for representation. Again this is unfair and does
not allow for proper consideration of the possible grounds for a
PCN to be contested. I also attach screenshots from the LB
Redbridge website.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Kind regards,

There are two requirements for making representations: they must
be made within 28 days of the date of service, and they must be
made in the form and manner specified on the PCN. A
representation made on 17 December 2024 is prima-facie out of
time, and I'm not aware of the Redbridge PCN allowing
representations to be made by email, so that would seem to
defeat both points.
A complaint is progressing with the Local Government Ombudsman,
the only other avenue would be a judicial review.

[indent]
The Council has failed to provide a clear date for
representations to be received. The information provided on the
notice is open to ambiguity and has caused Mr Y confusion which
has led to him being unable to provide representations in time.
[/indent]
This obviously doesn't bind adjudicators, but it can be
persuasive to show that Redbridge's notices are ambiguous.

Redbridge have now cancelled the PCN as a "gesture of goodwill".
