Hi all,
Need some advice with a PCN I recently received from Hillingdon Council. It was for a prohibited left turn but the sign indicating this wasn't very clear. I have attached a scan of the PCN and a street view photo of the sign. I know the PCN has been sent after 28 days so I'm writing to DVLA to find out when the LA requested my info and when it was sent to them, but do I have any other grounds for appeal regarding 1) the wording and validity of the PCN and 2) the sign itself? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you. This post has been edited by avp: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 - 19:48 |

Thank you PASTMYBEST and cp8759 for your continued support. It's very much appreciated.
Just a point regarding the the inadequate signage. There is a somewhat confusing sing on Frithwood Avenue warning of the no left turn into Elgood Avenue but it's not very clear. Should I mention this in the appeal? This post has been edited by avp: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 - 07:55 |

perhaps we need to beef up the part about the TMO and not actually traveling SW to NE along Watford road

perhaps we need to beef up the part about the TMO and not actually traveling SW to NE along Watford road Well we know the TMO prohibits a vehicle “proceeding in a south westbound direction in Watford Road” from turning left into Elgood Avenue, and in the previous case the adjudicator was of the view that the appellant was simply crossing over from Frithwood Avenue to Elgood Avenue. avp you need to show us the video so we can confirm how well this argument can be made in your case. I also think there's something to be said about the advance warning sign, it could mean that if you proceed into Elgood Avenue, you won't be able to turn left at some point along Elgood Avenue itself. It's also interesting that there doesn't appear to be any additional authorisation from the SoS for this advisory sign. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

I will do, thanks again.
Just want to point out I received multiple PCN's over a week for the exact same contravention (new route, misinterpreted the sign on Frithwood Avenue). Can I lodge one appeal to cover all of them or do I need to submit them individually? |

How many have you got Notices of Rejections for? 5 in total Well this is new information, when were you planning on telling us? List the dates of all the notices, and the dates of all the NoRs. Also post all the NoRs in full. You will have to appeal all of them but then the tribunal will almost certainly direct that they all be dealt with as a single, consolidated appeal. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Apologies for not mentioning it sooner but I assumed it wouldn't make a difference to the appeal process until now. The notice dates are 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 15th October. The rejection dates are all the same - 7th Jan. The content of each rejection is identical in all of them apart from the obvious like dates and CCTV images.

I've made a few adjustments for the TMO wording and continuous contravention in post 16. Remember you need to appeal all the Notices of Rejection.

The council will upload a case summary a few days before the tribunal decision is due, post it on here when you receive it.

Thank you AVP for posting this and to the respondents who helped so much.
I have an identical case (3 in fact, had no idea the restriction was in place) and think I have all that I need to appeal. So it was just to add a word of appreciation for the heavy lifting already done! |
