I believe for Redbridge many of these PCNs are having appeals
allowed due to the presence of the "Term Time Only" sign on the
blue plate underneath the actual restriction sign. My
understanding is that adjudicators have stated that drivers
can't be expected to check when term time is, the signs should
have it all on there.
Keep that in your back pocket in case you don't receive a
response by the end of the day but I'm sure someone more
knowledgeable will respond.

I just cooked up this draft as a backup just in case. Not sure
its that great but worth a punt. I'll hold of til 1130pm'ish
otherwise will make reps.

> Dear Sir/Madam,

> I am writing to make formal representations against the
issuance of the above Penalty Charge Notice, served for an
alleged contravention under code 52M — Failing to comply with a
restriction on motor vehicles (motor vehicles prohibited) at
Rutland Road on 26 May 2025.
>
> My representation is based on the following grounds:
>
> 1) Unenforceable and Ambiguous Signage – “Term Time Only”
> The restriction signage at this location displays the
following text:
>
> “Mon–Fri 8.00–9.15am and 2.45–4.00pm – Term-time only”
>
> There is no indication of specific dates or term periods. It
is not lawful or reasonable to expect a motorist to know or
check school term dates while driving. The signage therefore
fails to clearly convey the restriction and has been found
unenforceable in similar cases at London Tribunals.
>
> Adjudicators have repeatedly ruled that “term-time only”
restrictions must show defined date ranges or risk being
invalid, as seen in publicly referenced cases on the London
Tribunals website under Adequacy of Signs and Lines.
>
> 2) No Advance Warning / Safe Diversion
> There is no advance signage before this restriction to warn
unfamiliar drivers or allow a legal diversion. The restriction
appears suddenly and is difficult to comply with safely.
>
> 3) Request for Evidence
> I request the following:
>
> - The Traffic Management Order in force for this restriction.
> - Evidence of how term-time dates are communicated to drivers
at this location.
> - Certification of the enforcement camera.
>
> Due to the lack of clear signage and the legal ambiguity of
“term-time only” restrictions, I respectfully request
cancellation of this PCN.

Hi all,
Just recieved an NOR from redbridge. Any advice here? Do I

Thanks for the reply.
