Southwark, 52m, south sea street junction rope street

Hi there,
I received two PCNs for driving through a restricted road twice
(going in both directions). Whilst it was dark at the time, it
was rather clear the road was restricted to vehicle traffic. So
I don't think I've any basis to challenge validity of the PCN
due to poor signage or on any other circumstantial basis.
As such, I was about to pay the PCNs but the payment link
provided on the PCN doesn't work, it leads to a 404: Page not
found error (www.southwark.gov.uk/onlinepayments).
So just curious if this provides a basis to challenge the
validity of the PCN, or by any chance is there anything wrong
with the PCN that could be used to make a successful challenge?
All 4 pages of the PCN:

The PCN is invalid as it curtails the period in which the
council may serve a charge certificate as per the second
sentence under the picture.
I make this collateral challenge re the validity of the PCN. The
period in which you may serve a charge certificate is wrongly
expressed as it is truncated. Please see Schedule I of the 2003
Act which clearly states from the date of service as provided at
para. 5(2)

In light of the above, please cancel.
Choose ground: penalty exceeds amount.

The representation was rejected with what seems to be a fairly
standard auto reply.

At least this time they provided the correct payment link.
Is there a good chance of getting this cancelled if appealing to
the Adjudicators? I'm quite tempted to just pay to be honest
especially considering the clear infraction.

Hold fire please and screenshot what the payment status is this
very day for both and keep a record.
