Dear Mr Collis

Further to my communication of 16 July 2009, please find attached the
internal correspondence with regard to the box junction at Christchurch
Road and Priory Road, as per your request. I apologise for the delay;
regrettably the extraction of the information you requested took longer
than anticipated.

These attachments include several emails relating to the enforcement of
this junction and one operational concern raised by a member of Notice
Processing staff as the result of a representation.

The yellow box at the junction of Christchurch Road is compliant with the
regulations and I have enclosed a copy of the Department of Transport
approval for this junction for your information. Notwithstanding this; we
aim to issue Penalty Charge Notices in a fair and consistent manner. As it
is clear that vehicles stopped in the opening area of the junction are not
causing an obstruction to other vehicles, in August 2008 we stopped
issuing penalties to vehicles stopped in this area. A copy of the policy
advice issued to our camera operators is enclosed.

Once again, thank you for contacting us. Should you require further
assistance, please contact Gilmore Barrett, Correspondence Support
Manager-London Streets, at the above email address or by writing to:
