Dear Mr Sawyer
Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Request for Information
Further to my letter dated 2nd November 2009, I enclose the requested information below.
You requested the following information:-
The Traffic Management Orders for all the CCTV cameras in Theobalds Road, WC1, or the TMO that covers that area amongst others. I'm interested in the TMO's that allow the use of CCTV to capture report and fine road users for moving traffic offences. This should include bus lane infringements as well as others.
There are multiple Traffic Management Orders in relation to Theobalds Road. These are available to view at the One-Stop Reception at 5th Floor, Camden Town Hall, Judd Street, London WC1H 9JA. Telephone 020 7974 4444. It may be advisable to call prior to going to the reception, in case the document needs locating before your attendance.
With regard to the legislation that permits the use of CCTV to capture, report and fine road users I would refer you to the following legislation:-
Schedule 1 of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 - moving traffic contraventions.
Section 4 of the London Local Authorities Act 2000 - parking contraventions
Section 4 of the London Local Authorities Act 1996 (as amended) - This is for bus lane contraventions
Can Camden Council please advise me on their compliance with The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD) 2002 with respect to bus lane cameras and moving traffic offence signs in Theobalds Road? Specifically, there are no placements of sign 879 or allowed variants to enforce moving traffic offences other than bus lane infringements. Why is sign 879 not used? Does the lack of correct regulated signage invalidate any moving traffic offence PCN's for this specific area.
Camden Council fully comply with the TSRGD 2002 with respect of bus lane cameras and moving traffic signage in Theobalds Road. You have requested confirmation as to why sign 879 is not used at this location but it is not a legal requirement for this sign to be in place.
