       Greenwich Bus Lane Woolwich RD Maynor Park - Enforcement Notice 
   DIR By: ghostivv
       Date: October 18, 2024, 4:28 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Original PCN is dated 15th Aug for the contravention being
       in bus lane at Woolwich RD SW BOUND MARYON PARK (14733) on 7th
       Aug. I did a forum search here and register in London Tribunal.
       Found one where appeal was allowed

       />due to definition of approved devices. Informal appeal was put
       on through council's website. In the meantime I asked to put on
       FOI for the type of CCTV used at the location. A letter headed
       as "Enforcement Notice" dated 11th Oct 2024 is received
       demanding full £130 stating this is in regards to the previously
       issued PCN.
       1) Contravention date 7th Aug for being in bus lane at Woolwich
       Road SW Bound Maryon Park
       2) PCN dated 15th Aug received by post
       3) Informal appeal lodged via council's website
       4) Rejection Letter dated 4th Sep received. Rejection Letter

       4) A Letter "Enforcement Notice" dated 11th Oct received.

       Not sure if the process has been changed but thought it should
       have been a Notice of Rejection after the informal appeal? As
       for the current situation, do we need to wait for the NOR and
       relevant forms?
       Ediit: I don't have the copies of the PCN and other documents at
       the moment. I've asked to forward the scanned ones as the ones
       sent via phone are of very poor quality.
       Edit1: Rejection and Enforcement Notice attached.

       London bus lanes have a two state process like windscreen
       parking PCNs.
       The rejection either went missing in the post or they didn't
       issue one.
       You can now make formal reps which will probably be the same as
       initially plus saying you got no rejection.
       We can advise more if we see the PCN and your challenge.

       Apologies. There is a Rejection letter and on back page clearly
       states that the Enforcement Notice will be sent if not paid
       within 28 days.

       Still looking for the informal letter that was sent but initial
       draft looks like this:
       --- Quote ---
       > the alleged contravention did not occur. I have reviewed the
       evidence and it does not show my vehicle in a bus lane in the
       vicinity of Maryon Park. the footage appears to be of
       approaching Stone Lake Roundabout which is approx. half mile
       from the alleged location.
       >
       > I have requested FOI for the make and model of the CCTV used
       to enforce this location. I would like to refer you to case no
       2230405862 decided on 26th Oct 2023 where the adjudicator
       allowed the appeal based on the fact that the CCTV used by
       Greenwich Council to enforce bus lane PCN was found to be not of
       the prescribed device as is a requirement under paragraph 7 (2)
       of Schedule 1 of London Local Authorities Act 1996.
       >
       > If you wish to continue pursuit of this PCN, please also
       attach the relevant certificate for the CCTV used to enforce
       contravention at this location showing approval by the Secretary
       of the State. It will be a waste of Council's time and
       taxpayer's money if the council is to pursue this PCN in full
       knowledge if CCTV used is not of approved type. It was not my
       intention to use the bus lane to beat the traffic and rather it
       was a manuevere taken too early to safely use the intended lane.

       OK, please hang on a minute. I won a case against Greenwich and
       costs a few months ago. Each case is decided on its own merits.
       I will draft a formal representation later today. And based on
       your case.
       They must attend any hearing. They did not in the case I
       mentioned and they failed to understand the law.

       Dear Greenwich
       1. Your evidence does not show any upright signs passed: neither
       a 958 nor 959.
       2. I put you to strict proof that the camera used to captured
       the alleged contravention satisfies the criterion of
       admissibility of evidence at the Tribunal.
       In light of the above, please cancel the EN and PCN.

       Received the Notice of Rejection. The form looks straight
       forward but not sure between personal or postal hearing type.
       Also Do we need to put the same full arguments on the appeal

       Thanks
