Request and response
Dear Lambeth Borough Council,
The statutory guidance to local authorities requires periodic reviews to be carried out to
aim for continuous improvement in compliance. Given the ongoing extraordinarily high
number of contraventions and PCNs issued at the Clapham Park Road bus lane
(leading to the junction with Abbeville Road) and the fact that adjudicators have upheld
appeals on the grounds that the signage is confusing, can you please provide
information on any such reviews carried out between 1 Jan 2016 and 10 April 2024 to
include the following:
1. Whether all concerns on the signage raised by adjudicators who upheld appeals
were taken into consideration.
Not applicable - the guidance referred to is for Outside London. All lines and signs at
this bus lane are compliant.
2. Whether recommendations for improvements made by adjudicators were taken into
consideration.
Not applicable - the guidance referred to is for Outside London. All lines and signs at
this bus lane are compliant.
3. Whether the guidance in the extract below was followed.
Not applicable - the guidance referred to is for Outside London. All lines and signs at
this bus lane are compliant.
4. The outcome of any such reviews.
Not applicable - the guidance referred to is for Outside London. All lines and signs at
this bus lane are compliant.
