HAVERING, code 52M Failing to comply with a prohibition on certa

Hi there,
Hoping the team here can help, I received the following fine;

(annoyingly on the same day we received a code 31 PCN which we
are also in the process of appealing, we were rushing to get to
our Mother in law, who is terminal.)
They are stating I went down a no entry, however I do not recall
seeing any signs, it was fairly late & dark and the video
evidence they have provided doesn't include a working video.
I used the argument provided on a previous chain seen on this
website, but have received a notice of rejection, i'm stumped as
normally when you appeal the reduced rate is paused however this
is not the case, so they are expecting the full £160. Would be
great to know if we have any case at all?
Its likely we will have to folk out £320 for 2 PCN's on the same
day, which given other stresses we could really do without!

Pity you didn't comme on here first before submitting reps, as
we would no doubt have told you Havering, (to their everlasting
shame), do not re-offer the discount in any circumstances,
unless it is mandated by law, which it isn't.
Anyway, having now had your reps rejected it is now a total
no-brainer to take them to London Tribunals. The penalty remains
the same.If you win you pay nothing, if you lose you pay the PCN
penalty, there are no other costs. However, stupid Havering must
prepare an evidence pack and also pay the adjudication fee.

I commented on a previous post but stupidly didn't create my own
Topic!
If I take to a tribunal, whats my best argument? any tips on
this would be extremely appreciated!
Thanks so much for your reply

Well, first off, we need to see the video. I looked on their
website and found it, and it shows your car reg but it doesn't
show it passing any restriction signs. The location is totally
wrong because a brief view of GSV shows no signs at the junction
printed on the PCN. Basically, Havering get away with this
nonsense because most people cough-up when they get the PCN to
get the discount, not being willing to risk the full £160, nor
knowing much about what the law says.
The signs are probably these:-

The road junction on your PCN is on the other side of the
railway viaduct:-

Thank you for reviewing, and looking at the signs. As I said, it
was a dark miserable evening and we were rushing to get to our
very unwell MIL.
In my argument to tribuneral then do I push with the argument,
that the evidence they have provided does not show the car
registration passing any of the restricted signs? I feel a
little uneasy putting together the argument as I know these
councils are pesky!
Happy to liase with you direct if easier?

[member=7623]HBFOOT[/member] Where is the Notice of Rejection
please? I would suggest that [member=7]mrmustard[/member] or I
offer to represent you. I annoyingly lost a case the other day
(considering a review application). And I have my own to deal
with in June.
