The High Court has quashed six permanent Low Traffic

were unlawfully introduced, with the court finding they were
partly used to help address the borough’s severe financial
difficulties.

This is a very interesting development and could be a bit of a
breather for local residents and drivers.
It may come as welcome news for people who were caught out by
the restrictions, as well as for locals and commuters who relied
on these roads to avoid the already very busy main routes.
It will be interesting to see whether other councils could face
similar legal challenges.
I’ve also heard that it might be possible to claim back fines
that were issued under these schemes, although I’m not sure how
accurate that is. If anyone has more information on this, it
would be good to hear.

As Mr Mustard recently posted in his own site, there were over
9.5 million PCNs served last year in London. If it is assumed
that 95% of them were paid at the discount, this generates a
revenue of around £722 million. By no stretch of the imagination
can one put this down as having a traffic management purpose, it
is all for raising cash.

No one forces anyone to park without paying or to drive through
a restriction and to say there is no traffic management purpose
in say cutting down on rat running may want to tour the 25,000
or so low traffic measures in the UK to wonder why they are
there.

The court seems to have been persuaded otherwise.
