PCN ON ELECTRIC LANE IN BRIXTON code 53j

[Bigilote]

Hi,

I have just received a PCN charge (code 53j) in the post and completely in shock. I turned into this road (Electric Lane) as I was trying to find parking and noticed it was a dead end, so just turned and drove out. I do not know Brixton that well as I live outside London. I also did not see any sign to say no entry at the said times.

I have gone on line to check and seen that the sign age is placed where it cannot be seen clearly.

 

I really feel that this ticket has been produced unfairly but need solid prove to show that its misleading. The only one I have is

 

1. Sign age not clear upon entry

 

2. Was not aware its meant for pedestrians

 

I would be very grateful if you can assist me with a letter to appeal to the council and also further prove. I want know whether the sign is within the Law and if this PCN is valid. Any suggestions, ie case law will help. I know a begging letter will not suffice with them, not unless I can prove they are wrong.

Many Thanks

any idea of which bit of Electric Lane you drove into? It cuts across a couple of other roads and is not entirely pedestrianised/time limited/traffic prohibited so you will have to be clear which signage would apply to you anyway. This could be to your advantage regarding the clarity of the signage.

Go back and get photos, you can't get better proof than that.
