Connell Crescent Ealing large high fence obstructing signage
msa969:
I received a penalty charge from ealing council which informs me of alleged contraventions 52JM on Connell Crescent. However on the day I was driving on Connell Crescent there was a large building work with high fencing to the right. The building had a large wooden fence that obscured the full vision into this road. I was unable to see the signage, had I seen the signage in clear view I would not have carried out this manoeuvre. My main complaint is the way the signage is mounted is not clear, further to this the obstruction of the large high fencing due to work being done on entry to the road right next to the signage obscured my view. I have attached images of the fencing and signage.
DastardlyDick:
Hate to say this, but I can clearly see the sign in one of your photo's, and the angle suggests it wasn't taken from the road. I take it that you didn't see the sign on the other side of the road?
I can't see a defence here - I suggest paying at the discounted penalty.
msa969:
ok.
Thank you.
The Bald Eagle:
@msa969
Before paying this I have a few questions.
1. When did this happen?
2. Is the hoarding still there?
3. Can you see the hoarding in the picture on the PCN and/or on the online video footage?
4. Do you have any photographs taken from other angles?

1. When did this happen?
Hi Bald Eagle (I feel like I am speaking to myself, my nomer back in school was this due to my appearance, all bald and sharpish beak),
it happened on 26 07 2018 at 17:59. On the day of the alleged offence I was just driving at slow speed on nearby roads leading to connell crescent. The road to the side of the hoarding is called Heathercroft and there is a road besides this called Hanger Green which i had parked up and waited for about 15 minutes.
2. Is the hoarding still there?
I am not sure, i live about 45 minutes drive away.
3. Can you see the hoarding in the picture on the PCN and/or on the online video footage?
You can see the hoarding on the PCN and on the online video
4. Do you have any photographs taken from other angles?
No more photographs but I am certain that if you were driving into connell crescent from Heathercroft and you were to do a left you would not see the signage before it is too late because the hoarding would be too large and the signage would be on your left. On the day I was driving around the vicinity for long periods and on Heathercroft.
