FPN - Blood Robbing Council

[callahan]

Sorry for digging up this old thread, but a Google search for this street brought it straight up!

I just got a ticket yesterday for exactly the same thing. Admittedly my wife saw the no entry sign just after I had gone through, as I was following a bus so didn't see it. By then it was too late to turn back.

I was snapped by a camera car too. How did the local paper campaign go? Any suggestions (except for 'pay up, it was your mistake ' - which I will do anyway)?

Sorry to hear that. I won my claim on the signs being wrong but they have since been corrected. I'm there fairly regularly with these guys http://notomob.co.uk/discussions/ , 'saving' drivers from being caught. It's still not right IMO as once you are onto the no entry sign it's difficult to escape.

I would appeal on those grounds. The council will refuse your appeal (they always do) then offer the reduced fine again. That at least buys you some time.

I sent you a pm with the person to ask.

Good Luck!

This may help:-



This is public info by the way, anybody can access it. The guy won his appeal because the signs were regarded as inadequate.
