Specific grounds of appeal for this contravention

Was the PCN sufficiently clear as to the contravention. In one case the PCN stated failing to comply with a sign indicating a prohibition on certain types of vehicle, however the signage at the location stated motor vehicles prohibited. The adjudicator said the PCN should have referred to “motor vehicles” rather than “certain types of vehicle”. Certain types of vehicles is too general. The contraventions have various suffixes. The correct suffix must be used and the contravention stated must be the exact one that relates to the stated contravention code.

In July 2012 an adjudicator found against Camden council on the basis that the signage was inadequately clear at the notorious Grafton Road Junction where the council had issued over £5m of penalty charge notices. If you have received a PCN at this location see the adjudicators decisions.

There are 11 more ways that you can have your penalty charge notice cancelled for this offence. We have even summarised adjudicator’s decisions where motorists have won.
