Lewisham Borough Councils current policy on bus/tram, lane/gate enforcement on Christmas Day?

The request was successful.

Dear Lewisham Borough Council,

I wish to know if you 'enforce' bus/tram, lanes/gates on Christmas Day, when no buses or trams (whichever is applicable) are in operation?

I am asking this same question to a number of Councils across the UK to find out what their policy is on enforcing contraventions on Christmas Day?

Yours faithfully,

David Blythen

Foi, Customer, Lewisham Borough Council

Dear Fowler, Joel,

Thank you for your response.

As there are not always 365 days in a year, please could you be more clearer on whether you enforce contraventions on Christmas Day.

I would prefer a very clear yes or no answer.

Yours sincerely,

David Blythen

Fowler, Joel, Lewisham Borough Council

Hello Mr Blythen,

 

Yes, bus lane enforcement operates on Christmas Day.

 

I hope this clarifies my early response.

 

Regards

Joel
