       Enfield/Tottenham Event Day Permit PCN
   DIR By: Fazzy

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Hi all,
       Looking for some advice please.
       I popped out for a quick bite from a shop on Silver Street and
       parked on Warwick Road. I drove from N13 (Hedge Lane), took the
       Cambridge roundabout, and exited onto Silver Street via the A406
       slip road. At no point did I see any Event Day date signage.
       I was aware there was no Spurs match on, and given how quiet the
       area was (especially after the recent Beyoncé concerts), I
       assumed there was no event. I was literally in the shop for
       about 15 minutes, came out, and found a PCN on my windscreen.
       Apparently, there is a Chris Brown event tonight!
       Now I’ve been hit with an £80 fine — quite steep for a doner
       😅
       I’m confused about where we’re supposed to see Event Day
       notifications for this area. I remember seeing signs further up
       near the stadium on the High Road, but if you're a local who
       doesn't regularly pass through those roads, how are we meant to
       know when these restrictions apply?
       Also, would the following draft be OK to send for an informal
       challenge?
       Would appreciate any advice or improvements — or if anyone else
       has had success appealing similar PCNs!
       Thanks
       Dear Sirs,
       Re: Windscreen [PCN Number] dated [DD/MM/YYYY] – Alleged
       Contravention on [DD/MM/YYYY] at Warwick Road, N18
       I write to formally challenge the above Penalty Charge Notice,
       which alleges a parking contravention under Code 16 – "Parked in
       a permit space or zone without clearly displaying a valid
       permit."
       I deny liability for this PCN on the grounds that the
       contravention did not occur due to inadequate and unclear
       signage relating to Event Day restrictions. I drove from my home
       (N13) to Warwick Road for a short visit to nearby Silver Street.
       At no point during the journey or upon arrival did I observe any
       clear signage indicating that an Event Day restriction was in
       force.
       Further, there was no Tottenham Hotspur match or event taking
       place that day to reasonably alert motorists to the activation
       of such restrictions. I did not have access to the internet at
       the time of parking and, in the absence of visible signage, had
       no way of knowing that any event applied.
       The signage currently in place does not comply with the required
       standards to adequately inform drivers of temporary or
       event-related restrictions. This lack of clear and visible
       notice renders enforcement unfair and non-compliant with the
       council’s statutory obligations.
       I therefore respectfully request that the PCN be cancelled, and
       that the council reviews and improves the clarity and
       positioning of Event Day signage before further enforcement is
       pursued in this area.
       Yours faithfully,
       Windscreen PCN :

       The zone entry signs are on Silver Street by St Aldhelm's Church
       and the entrance to Millfield House, and Enfield are usually
       pretty good at keeping the dates current.
       That said, the most recent GSV image shows the one on the Church
       side as having been rotated so it's not facing oncoming vehicles
       and the sign on the other side could easily be obscured by a
       large vehicle.

       Approaching from the other end of Silver Street, the zone entry
       signs are just after a bus stop.

       You've blanked the PCN details so we can't check pictures.

       Thank you BigBazz - I will drive down today to check if the
       signs are visible by Milfield.
