Bus lane photographic evidence
Dear Lambeth Borough Council,
I have noticed that on Lambeth Walk leading to Lambeth Road, the white sign featuring a bus symbol is not visible as it is rotated 180°. This situation leads to road users receiving Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) without proper advance warning typically expected in such scenarios. In light of this, could you please provide information on the following:
1. How many PCNs have been issued at Lambeth Road (W) to individuals who entered from the side road and later contested the signage visibility in their responses?
2. Out of the aforementioned number, how many PCNs were subsequently cancelled?
3. When was the issue of the rotated sign first reported to the council?
4. When the council presents cases against road users at Lambeth Road (W) – irrespective of their approach route – photographic evidence is submitted to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators to demonstrate compliance with sign visibility standards. It has come to my attention that the council consistently uses the same image for this location. Could you please provide the date on which this recurring photograph was initially captured?
5. In cases where individuals feel unjustly penalized due to outdated or inaccurate evidence submitted by the council (for instance, when the photographs used do not reflect the current state of the signage), what is the appropriate contact or email address for them to seek refunds for charges incurred as a result of adjudication by the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators?
I await your prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Faisant
