You may be able to view the video, (the sole evidence) if you go onto their website and quote PCN Number and car reg. However, they may still be in the Dark Ages, in which case, you can only view it at their premises.

Can you please post-up a GSV link to the exact location shown on the PCN photos, please. Yes, we can also look, but there are an awful lot of posts to be dealt with and our time is limited.

Yes, please, download it, then put it on here. You may have to use a hosting site as per the forum "Read this first...."thread.

The busgate signs seem clear enough, although it is disgusting to me that the road layout and markings are left totally unchanged, so there are no environmental clues that the road is blocked to motor vehicles

I backtracked from your GSV link and found that there is advance warning of the bus gate: -

If these advance signs had not been present your case would be quite strong, but if you get as far as adjudication, the council will point out this advance warning.  Were you using a satnav ?

Usually a council will re-offer the discount when rejecting representations received within the discount period, so you could submit reps on the basis of total unfamiliarity with Bristol, and ask for this to be considered in mitigation of your transgression. Post up their response when you get it.

Ok I will submit a representation based on unfamiliarity with the city.

If you've not sent it already then please put a draft on here first.

Did you see the signs at all?

In the meantime I'll request the traffic order and the camera make and model.

@HolyGuacamole I've now got hold of The South Gloucestershire Council (Regent Street and Two Mile Hill, Kingswood) (One Way Traffic and Bus Lane) Order 2002, have you made representations or did you give up and pay?
