Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: Should a Ltd Co pay for a freelancers Moving Traffic Offence - wrong way ONE WAY St?

"Who was the driver on the day of the contravention is irrelevant. So if you hired the vehicle, you are responsible."

That's conclusive
Thank you.

Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Should a Ltd Co pay for a freelancers Moving Traffic Offence - wrong way ONE WAY St?
« on: Yesterday at 06:11:55 pm »
Back in December the Ltd. Co. I run paid for the hire of a van which was then driven by someone not our employee and working as a freelancer.
He was picked up on a camera driving wrong way down a one-way street.
(We paid the van hire Co. a fee for representing the PCN.)
.
We have now received the actual penalty charge notice, made out in the drivers name but addressed to us at our business address.

Whilst we might be amenable to paying for someone's Parking charge notices I don't see how we can legally -even if we are inclined to do so- pay for his moving traffic offences.
I'm thinking that the van hire company, who record the details of the drivers license when the van is collected, should have given this information to the council issuing the PCN.

The Flame Pit / Re: Enforceable restriction sign(s)

The article in your link is referring to the location I am talking about.
We visited last weekend thinking that we might stay overnight. Whilst I had my doubts about the enforceability I decided I'd rather do without the time consuming hassle of getting a ticket cancelled, should we get one. Perhaps a mini success for the councils involved.
The article staes it was residents' complaints that brought about the restriction however looking on the satellite image on Googlemaps, there are no residences in the vicinity.

The above - I hope my image makes it - can be seen in Arundel (///nosedive.ears.digress) although I have a feeling this question applies to many other locations in the UK.
It's in a spot which has been used for some time by campervans. The council decided to put a stop to it (probably because not everyone who spent the night there felt inclined to remove their rubbish when they left in the morning)
Looking on

Am I deluding myself: to be enforceable there must be yellow lines on the road and possibly even signage at either the entry and exit point the street or maybe the town or area itself?
