Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: PCN 34J - Bus Lane / Bus Gate - Leeds City Council - v2

Thanks for posting Ing22, I agree Leeds has become a complete nightmare to navigate around and I read an article stating how many millions the council has made in fines so far this year and its disgusting.
On the vast majority of routes there is signage overload and its impossible for any driver to take in all the signs, the council is well aware of this and see motorist as a cash cow.

Managed to upload a clear image of the alleged offence, as you can see the roadworks do not help

Sorry i didnt notice the new thread, below is the GSV link

Street View - Dock Street

Unfortunately this is out of date, there are constant road works going on in Leeds so i doubt even the council have up to date plans.
Again this used to be one of the main routes through the city

My partner has tried to ring the council on several occasions but the automated line just directs you to the website then cuts you off, there is no option to speak to a human being.

Unfortunately it appears she has been caught more than once as another letter arrived in the post today, this time for Bridge End JNC Dock ST.

Thanks for the reply, i have read the other thread but i dont think Leeds CC will agree the PCN refers to the wrong location.
Or are we arguing the camera footage does not show the junction/location in question, as it points down the road rather than actually at the junction in question?

Looking at the official notice on the Leeds CC website, it shows the bus gate after the South Parade street which drivers are now expected to use rather than drive straight on as before Map

The junction specified in the PCN is highlighted with an orange box, the camera as a yellow circle and the red box is the location of the
Location

In reality the driver would be going through the bus gate even though it is not actually shown in the photo or video footage.
The fact that she has possibly driven through 3 separate bus gates would that not count against her?

Would we be better off contesting the letter wording or the unclear signage and or level or roadworks.

Hi all,

My partner has received a PCN from Leeds City Council in the post today, which relates to a 'Alleged Bus Lane Contravention'.
34J Being inn a bus lane (during the hours of operation of the bus lane)
Location: Bus Gate, East Parade JNC Headrow Northbound

Date of alleged contravention: 15/09/23
Date of notice: 28/09/23
Date Received: 03/10/23

Unfortunately my partner isnt familiar with all the numerous road closures, diversions and new bus lanes in Leeds and didnt see the signage.
Until recently (June 2023 ) this was the main route through the city centre and she hasnt been in since the changes and was completely unaware like thousands of other drivers that have been caught since.

I will attempt to go and take some photos of the area later this week

Any help in fighting the PCN would be greatly appreciated, is the letter legal?

thanks in advance
