To make sure, can you please post the advice letter, redacting
your name and address, of course.

Have we seen your formal reps and the NOR?
My own view is that the sign is not formatted correctly. The
lower panel does not modify the conditions above, it changes
them fundamentally*. As such, IMO a different format is
required.
*- but we haven't seen the council's reasoning.
Normally 'event' or whatever simply extends the existing
controls, it doesn't create wholly different conditions which
the wording in this case, taken at face value, creates i.e.
restrictions on permit holders 'T' and others, not just others.

Hi both,
Please see new link:

First two images are today's letter via email giving a
"discretionary cancellation" of the PCN.
Image 3-6 is the first rejection (all of my 'argument' is in
there)
Images 7-9 are the notice of rejection of representation, again
with my argument within there.
Hope that is helpful.
In today's email they say that they have successfully won cases
like this at tribunal. I'd be interested to see those.

And you're supposed to read the entry sign and take in a great
wodge of text with the event date at the bottom, whilst usually
turning your vehicle and looking out for other vehicles and
suicidal cyclists and pedestrians ! Give me strenght, oh Lord !
What they could also do, is place a phone number on the parking
bay signs, that one can call and receive an automated recording
of the next event date. This would be entirely possible, but of
course, less PCN penalty money would come in, so obviously they
won't do anything to affect their Nice Little Earner.

Exactly! I have cycled and walked past that sign many more times
than I have driven Padt it, and honestly, I don't even notice it
then! Its high, its hectic, its silly.
They really need a revamp of their signs. Islington has much
clearer event day parking signs. It's mad really. There must
have been at least 6 other cars on the street the day I got my
ticket, and I'm sure that very, very few off them would have
taken it all the way to tribunal.
