I practice law in the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, London Tribunals, the First-tier tribunal for Scotland, and the Traffic Penalty Tribunal for Northern Ireland, but I am not a solicitor nor a barrister. Notwithstanding this, I voluntarily apply the cab rank rule. I am a member of the Society of Professional McKenzie Friends, my membership number is FM193.

Well done.  An illuminating decision.  :)
How do we get more people to fight their PCNs?

If you do not even make a challenge, you will surely join "The Mugged Club".

URGENT!

PLEASE SIGN MY PETITION TO EQUATE MOVING TRAFFIC LAW WITH BUS LANE LAW SO LONDON COUNCILS MUST ATTEND HEARINGS WHEN REQUIRED BY THE APPELLANT.

Or rather a not illuminated decision. :) Well done to all.

I've found from my boss who lives in the area that a number of similar bus gates exist in the Harrow area, mainly to stop residential roads being used at through routes by lorries which is understandable I suppose. But these roads are usually bus routes as well, hence the bus gates.

The other main reason is the cash they generate for the council.
Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.

Thanks to @cp8759 for representing me and successfully arguing my case. Sadly the council have now improved the lighting from what it was at, at the time of the PCN.

But I'd say that their inability to provide key information (such as CCTV and original appeal text) within a reasonable time-frame could make them liable as well, given the 12th March misleading around keeping the discount on hold (when it wasn't)

On the other hand we can hope that the improved lighting will result in fewer contraventions and fewer PCNs being issued in the fist place.
