Author Topic: Arundel Gate 34J - being in a bus lane (Sheffield)  (Read 45 times)

Morning,

From my limited/primitive "Man search" I probably should address this email to @hypprocates.

Basically, my better half received a Bus Lane PCN for a 34J being in a Bus lane, on Arundel Gate (Northeast Bound).
She appealed this before I became aware of the incident. The appeal was on the basis of the following:
Poor Signage
No adequate means to/or warning to turn around
Not being from the area
First offence
The offence is for a Bus lane contravention, yet it is actually for allegedly passing through a bus gate.

These representations were duly dismissed by Sheffield City Council.

So....

I have viewed the Evidence, which shows nothing more than a vehicle driving along a road, from a head on view and it does not show any of the signage it has allegedly passed.

So my question is what is the best form of defence, the request of CCTV for driving through the alledged signage.
happy to post copies of paperwork, just thought I would clarify first.
Thanks
Lynch

Is there no video on their website ? Most councils have photos and video. The photos are, of course, frames from the video which is the sole evidence.

If you want full and proper advice from the experts, please read this and update your thread accordingly:-

As regards getting reps rejected, do be aware that councils reject >95% of reps because they know that most people then just cough-up. Don't just assume the council rejection means the signage is adequate; in the council world, all signage is perfect. Experience of this forum is that it isn't in a great many cases !
