So I wanted to know how much money $SCAMDEN are really making (from camera 244 on Southampton Row) and I decided to ask some questions and here is the response.
1) The number of PCN's issued by the controllers of this camera
224 from 28th February 2012 to 28th February 2013 for all
Contravention Codes is: 11,082 PCNs
2) The number of PCN's that were issued for Contravention Code
34 & 34j (Bus lane) by this same camera from 28th February 2012
to 28th February 2013 is: 6,640 PCNs
3) The total amount of income generated from the PCN's issued
by Camera 224 for Contravention Code 34 & 34j from 28th
February 2012 to 28th February 2013 is: £440,927
3a) In addition the total income generated by this camera (Camera

February 2013: £729,599
4) The number of PCNs issued by camera 224 regarding
Contravention Code 34 & 34j which were challenged by motorists
and the reasons for the challenge from 28th February 2012 to
28th February 2013 is: 466 Formal Representations. We cannot
report the reasons for each formal representation as we cannot provide
data relating to 3
However, we can advise that each PCN is considered on its own merits
and on a case by case basis. I can also advise that of the 466 formal
Representations 25 were accepted; 406 were rejected and 35 cases
are showing as ‘open’.

party as this would breach the Data protection Act.

All in all $SCAMDEN are making a shitload of money from this single camera alone and they know it! They have made nearly £729 million from one single camera. Thousands of people are falling into this trap and handing over their hard earned cash....WTF!!!
