Unless the "fettered to theft" approach is a sure fire winner I would advise settling at the discount.

There has been a successful case of a car coming out of Dale Avenue but I doubt that will apply to St Bridies because the road markings and signage would be more evident.

As I posted earlier they have fixed the issue of contemporary photos so there is no wriggle room there.

Likewise the Sect 36 sign v TMO argument would be unlikely to succeed given their choice of words in their correspondence.

You might risk the full penalty and ask that the case officer attend the Tribunal. A no-show wins you the case by default.

If the case officer does attend, your first question would be "why have you placed the TMO in the evidence pack? Then you are back into the Sect 36 v TMO argument.

So here is the approach to Camrose Avenue from St Bride's Avenue : -

You can see the blue bus gate signs, plus there is a sign for the width restriction.

Video seems to show you seeing the two lanes, and then moving left to go through the buses only lane. I can't see any credible appeal, sorry to have to say it.

I was confused at the time I saw it, and not paying attention to the width restriction I went left, thinking the right lane would force me to turn right. Whole thing is terribly unclear and in my opinion unnecessary at that time of night anyway. I'm aware of the BBC article over this money-making farce by the council.

"Unless the "fettered to theft" approach is a sure fire winner I would advise settling at the discount." - does anyone know if this is worth making my case on? It looks like I'm out of options otherwise?

What did you write?  You have until 7th March to pay the discount.

Can I just ask what is the point of this bus lane/gate? I've seen this one on here a few times now. It looks incredibly short, only fit one bus, and even then it looks like they have to give way to the cars passing on the right. Looks like it doesn't actually serve any purpose.

Ours is not to  reason why.  But probably:  £££££££££££$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

In my original challenge - I mainly mentioned the darkness, the signage and the confusion I experienced (not sure how I can retrieve the text of this from the website, there doesn't seem to be an option). I haven't mentioned anything about the "fettered to theft" approach or any of the other arguments mentioned in this thread yet though, @Hippocrates.

Do you suggest that I reply to the council via email with the "fettered to theft" approach, prior to 7th March, to see if they will budge?

We need to see EXACTLY the play you wrote so we can compare with their NOR.

You cannot now submit further stuff.

Hi @Hippocrates - I've asked the council to provide the original text of my challenge so I can post it here. This takes me over the 14 days for the discounted period. Given the delays in providing the CCTV footage and this text, in your experience does the council extend the discounted period to give me enough time to consider?

As far as I recall, no;  but, you can ask them to put the matter on hold.

@AceKingPin looks like the discount has gone anyway, where's the notice of rejection? You must be almost out of time to appeal.

cp8759 is, indeed, a Wizard of the First Order

Hi @cp8759,

It's in a state of hold - I've asked them for my original challenge text (and a putting on hold of the discount), to which I received the following:

"Thank you for your email
 
We are in receipt of your further email and the case is on hold awaiting a response to be issued and sent to you.
The Council are currently experiencing a backlog and so you may not receive a response for a further 2-3 weeks. The case will remain on hold until it is dealt with.
 
Kind Regards,
Parking Representations Officer"

Is there a line between a reasonable and unreasonable delay in providing requested information that I should be aware of?

Many thanks.
