Parking PCN - Barnet Council - 16 - Parked in a permit space
without valid permit, Sunningfields Crescent, NW4

Hello,
I parked on a road (Sunningfields Crescent, NW4) next to a park
on a Sunday (30/11/25) and received a PCN at 2:06pm.
The sign reads - "Permit Holders only [ED] on event days 1-6pm"
I understood this sign to mean: "Only residents can park here on
Event days between 1-6pm".
Can someone explain what this sign means (see images below) and
should I pay this fine or challenge it?
Thanks!

This is the Saracens event day zone. There was a match on 30
November.
There must be zone entry points with the date - what was your
route to parking there?
Here's a zone entry sign nearby:

I came from Sunny
Gardens Rd, into Sunningfields crescent. This is where I entered
this road and I parked at the top of this road on the right.

Well, no, it means what it says, namely only permit holders with
code ED on their permit can park as per the notice.

I haven't had many Event Day PCNs recently, I used to get them
every week (during the season) and this is because residents got
to know, so now mostly visitors get caught and they aren't even
going to the match.
I would expect the council to fail to prove something at the
Appeal stage so forget about the discount if you want to fight
as the council are most unlikely to cancel & I win half of my
cases by going to Appeal (I win 85% overall, I have fought
2,000+ pcn in the last 7 years).
I would select the ground 'There was no contravention' (or
similar wording) and then write that 'signs within the road did
not notify me that the day in question was an Event Day,
whatever that is, nor where that information was to be found.
Please cancel the PCN.'
That is all. Don't veer off into other areas, keep it short and
to the point, you only put yourself in it if you write more than
that.
If you were loading/unloading or boarding/alighting a passneger
who needed assistance that could be an exmeption so do come back
if that was actually the case.

Thank you for the advise.
Would you be up for taking this case on my behalf?
Many Thanks

Sure, if a donation of £40 is made to the North London Hospice.
I ask for nothing for myself.

Happy to do that. What's the process ?
Do I donate, show evidence of the donation and then email you
the details of the PCN?
Many thanks
