Looks like the hours I quoted above relates the 'school keep clear' sign and not the 'No Entry' restrictions - so I may have to cough-up afterall

Yup been fined too!! However, look at the Traffic Management Order on the Kingston Council website. Google "Kingston Council TMO P236" The schedule (page 2) says "Between 8am and 4:30pm on Mondays to Fridays inclusive" - doesn't this mean the TMO is not effective outside these hours? My penalty was for a right turn into Surbiton Crescent at 17.45. Am I missing something?
