Considering its still an average of around 40-50 contraventions each day for an arguably very small side road that has the restrictions for only 4 hours a day, the council is still making upto £1.4million a year just on this one camera. Should be evidence alone that it isn't really upto scratch.
Hello there ,I have been served with 7 tickets Contravention at Connell crescent Ealing W5. The problem is that when I used the short cut route to joint the A40 , the traffic restriction signs were not very visible , and also there were NO advance signs to warn you about this restriction . Unfortunately , I drove in this road over 8 times without releasing that there was a restriction . Council issued me with first PCN 8 weeks after the event I was chocked , why they had to wait for whole 8 weeks , and then sent the PCN .. I could have avoided 8-10 tickets . Because of the car is company car , the first three tickets were automatically paid . After that I asked the company Not to pay , and I will appeal ..Two representations were made on the ground that the signage were not very visible , and also the PCN tickets were issued to me over 8 weeks after the events.This situation is causing me a huge stress , and less sleep ...I wonder if any one out there came across to the same situation , and give me some advices on how to proceed next . So far I did not receive any response from the council yet .. I am not sure the ground that I sent with the representation to the council was not strong enough .Your help , and advice to my problem would be most appreciated ..Karim
Thanks for your Advice Mr Mustard .. My company has been pretty good with the issuing me the PCN .. The first PCNS ( 3n0) were served to the company on 08/09 , and I received the PCN on 12/09 lets after 6 weeks ..I attach my 7 PCN .. tell me what do you think I have already made two representation on the ground of the PCN were not issued to me on time , and also the restriction sign is not adequate and confusing .. till now I have nit received any thing yet after 30 days ..I am now in the process of making a third representation this week ..Many thanks
Gents, I have been on Connell crescent road to survey the signs - I noticed that No warning signs are in place ( as I explained in my previous email ) . I also noticed that both signs are not in line at the junction , and are staggered . the right hand side sign is basically face A40 carriage way and 1.6 m away from the junction , and you would have an impression that the sign is related to motorists driving in A40 road. The left hand side sign is approx. 17.o m from the junction . No way you would avoid the contravention . once you had entered the road the offence would have already been committed, with no opportunity to go back. My question with regard to the height of the signs , I searched through the website , they are 100000 of information of Traffic management regulation s, but I could not find anything , I wonder if anyone out there would know the rules of the height of the signs ( from the ground to the center of the sign ) - I measured about 3.200 - it appears to me that the sign is too high ??
