Haringey, parked during a temporary parking restriction

On 07/01/26, I received a PCN for parking in a bay that was
temporarily suspended. I am resident so typically park on this
road but a set of these bays were restricted due to temporary
road works.
I did not see the restriction and wanted to see if there is a
possibility for an appeal here?

Please post the PCN. How near is the suspension sign to where
the car was parked ? In addition, the sign states the
restriction starts on 7th January. When did you last check on
your car ? A notice like this should have been put up about 5-7
days in advance.

Sure, I edited the original post and attached photos of the PCN
along with how far I parked away from the notice. It's about
five or so bays away.
I last checked on Saturday 4th, but since it's getting darker
earlier I missed the sign - otherwise I would have moved it
across the road. I'm not sure when they put the notice up.

As far as the contravention goes, the only avenue to explore is
when they put the sign up. You were within the bay which has a
single sign, on which the suspension sign was mounted, so it was
in the right place. The suspension started on Wednesday 7th Jan,
you last saw the car on Sunday 4th Jan. The sign should have
been in place on that date, so I suggest you submit an informal
challenge stating that when you checked your car on the 4th Jan,
you saw no suspension sign, therefore request the PCN be
cancelled.

My only worry about submitting an informal challenge is that if
it is rejected, I will have to pay the full non-discounted
amount?

If you submit your challenge within the discount period,
Haringey will re-offer it when rejecting them. Frankly, if all
you're worried about is losing the discount then you might as
well pay up now, because London councils reject almost all
informal challenges knowing that most people then just cough-up;
is this you ?
