Contravention code 53 - failing to comply with restrictions
entering a pedestrian zone - Clarence Road Willesden

Good Afternoon,
My aunty got a PCN sent to her for entering a pedestrian zone
while during restricted hours.
She says she failed to see the sign as it was quite high up on
the main road before turning into the street with the pedestrian
zone.
This is the PCN she received.

Am I right in thinking contraventions captured by CCTV cameras
in London can be appealed successfully?
Many thanks for help.

The blue advance notice sign is not a traffic sign, so could be
appealed on that basis, because the signs at the start of the
restriction would not be visible to an approaching motorist
turning left.
It all depends on whether you are prepared to forego the
discount option, because the council will never give way, as
they keep all the penalty money, so are hardly unbiased.

I am happy to forego the discount option if there is a good
chance of success on appeal.
Is the London CCTV defense not an option in this case?
Also can you please elaborate regarding the advanced sign not
being a traffic sign.
Many thanks.

Please can I get feedback for my draft representation, also are
the cctv grounds no longer successfull?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to make a representation on the following grounds.
The contravention did not take place. The sign indicating a
pedestrian zone cannot be considered a traffic sign because of
its height making its visibility severely limited and would no
be visible to approaching motorists turning left.
Also there is a lack of consistency between the grounds of
appeal on the Authority's PCN and those on the website. When
entering the Authority's website a motorist is faced with a
General Representation invitation and then as you progress it
provides a box for the representation thus prejudicing the
motorists ability for a fair representation.
Kind regards,
