"Procedural impropriety" does not exist in this legislation.

@Rudeboyz No worries. 5th set approaches. They don't know what a real/non-metaphorical U turn is.  2240345188  ;)  ;D  8)

Thank you Hippocrates for all your assistance & hard work on this matter.

Must say I am disappointed that Newham Council decided to do a u-turn & after confirming their attendance at the hearing scheduled for tomorrow, then decided not to contest the appeal.

I was looking forward to seeing their representatives at the appeal hearing getting cross examined. Guess they knew defeat was inevitable.

Thanks once again Hippocrates. Outstanding result!!!  ;D  8)  :)

This is technical. This is the last time I will offer to assist. This is NOT a DIY case.

I have attempted again to post the notice of rejection letter, via the link below.

I can post that here for you, but first repost page 1 on Imgur having redacted your name & address.

----------------------------------
EDIT: I see Hippocrates is on the case. You are in good hands, so I'll not post NoR here, but you still need to redact page 1.

PM sent with offer of representation. They need to attend. I would need to change the time. They MUST serve their pack no later than 7 days before the hearing.

Apologies for the delay in responding back to your post Enceladus. Been out of action due to a stomach bug I picked.

I have attempted again to post the notice of rejection letter, via the link below. With regards to the enforcement notice, I appear to have mislaid this & will endeavour to find it & post it.

Your attempts at embedding the links do not work :(

Post the links to Imgur and I'll try and do it for you.

And what about the Enforcement Notice? Please post that up as well.

Greatly appreciate the draft representation Hippocrates & I will definitely lodge an informal appeal.

Will provide a further update, once I receive a response from Newham Council.

Thanks once again.

Better late than never:

Dear Newham

Ref: PCN                          VRM

I challenge the PCN as follows.

1. The video shows no warning signage allegedly passed.

2. Unless you can prove that the camera is approved, your evidence is inadmissible at the Tribunal.

3.*************

In light of the above, please cancel the PCN.

Yours faithfully

Name

Address

Thank you Incandescent for the reply.

Due to the vehicles ahead turning right at the traffic lights, onto Hermit Road, this caused a queue, which was made worse, when the coach also indicated to turn right.

Yes that is the exact location Martyn21uk

Looking at the video, you started driving into the bus lane just before the black-painted pole on the opposite side of the road. It is then easy to see this pole using GSV satellite view to work out you were in the bus lane for about 29.75 metres. You also undertook other vehicles. So on the face of it, the contravention itself seems to be made out, although I have to say it does look a bit money-grubbing of the council to serve a PCN right at the end of the buslane.

However don't just cough-up rightaway, but submit reps on the basis that you were turning left and inadvertently drove into the bus lane for a short distance so as to make the turn safely. It is quite possible there will be a camera authorisation or other technical issue.  Your reps will give some time so that all these avenues can be explored by the experts on here. Provided you submit your reps so they are received

Received PCN from Newham Council for entering into a bus lane.

Didn’t realise at the time, that I had entered into the bus lane. Was under the mistaken impression that I had entered into the section of the road, that allowed you to go into the lane, just before the traffic light junction with Hermit road/Beckton road.

Any possible grounds to appeal the PCN?

Photos of PCN can be viewed via link below.
