#1 Merton Council - Hertfield Road - Appeal Advice
on 16 Nov, 2024 11:54 in Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on)
New to the forum but just had a response on my appeal I thought anyone going through a fine with the notorious Bus Lane on Hertfield Road would like to know."This PCN was issued for the alleged contravention of being in a bus lane. Approval from theSecretary of State for the type of prescribed device used for this bus lane enforcement is arequirement under paragraph 7(2) of Schedule 1 to the London Local Authorities Act 1996 (the 1996Act) in order for the camera evidence to be admissible in these appeal proceedings. On the evidencebefore me, there is no valid approval of the device for the purposes of the 1996 Act. It follows thatthere is no admissible evidence of the appellant's vehicle being in a bus lane and the appeal isallowed."The cameras used are not approved by SoS - if you've received a fine, appeal it and get to work. I've just won my appeal as a result of this.Hope this is allowed admins!Thanks.
