       Tommy's Second Sequel v Kingston. Interview with Mr Sledge:
  HTML https://youtu.be/Izq6v54bEwk
       Mr Sledge raised several important issues in his challenge and
       formal representations against the Bus Lane ticket.  The Parking
       Operations Manager, Mrs Anita Haycock-Roelefeld, firstly
       rejected all the arguments about the signage and the wording on
       the ticket.  She then changed her mind completely.  Perhaps she
       will now consider her position and so should Mr Ian Manders who
       is allegedly in charge of this fiasco.  Or simply reimburse all
       recipients of the illegally-worded Penalty Charge Notice
       concerning the timing periods.
       Well done Mr Sledge for persevering and granting me an
       interview.
       After our interview, I shouted at several motorcyclists who also
       went down the bus lane at Eden Street.  They simply did not care
       because they knew that the camera did not point at their vehicle
       registration mark.  And so, this demonstrates even more
       prejudicial and unfair conduct from this council.  Only buses,
       cycles and taxis are allowed!
       *****************************
       Informal representations which were rejected:
       Dear Sirs
       Ref: PCN.........................VRM........................
       Ground: The Penalty Charge Notice is non-compliant
       The PCN completely mis-states the two periods of payments
       regarding the 14 days and 28 days. Therefore, the PCN should be
       cancelled as it is substantially non-compliant and does not
       contain the mandatory information it must according to the
       legislation.
       The relevant part of the legislation is here:
  HTML https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukla/1...
       The following information is mandatory:
       (3)A penalty charge notice under this Part of this Act must
       state—
       ©that the penalty charge must be paid before the end of the
       period of 28 days beginning with the date of the notice;
       (d)that if the penalty charge is paid before the end of the
       period of 14 days beginning with the date of the notice, the
       amount of the penalty charge will be reduced by the specified
       proportion;
       Should you not agree to do so, I am fully prepared to pursue
       this fundamental matter as far as the Tribunal to seek
       adjudication on the issue.
       Ground: signage is not fit for purpose
       According to your own video evidence the road legend on turning
       from Union Street is illegible and this indicates a statutory
       failure to maintain it thus rendering it not fit for purpose in
       terms of conveying the Traffic Management Order. Furthermore,
       the ramping also obscures the signage until it is too late.
       Also, some of the warning signage on Union Street is so twisted
       as also not to be fit for purpose.
       Finally, the video does not show all the signage allegedly
       passed.
       Please cancel the PCN accordingly.
       Yours faithfully

       Mr Sledge and the sign:
  HTML https://youtu.be/rWgKAx0Jju4
       Further interview with Mr Sledge: Mr Sledge and the sign
       Fact no. 1:
       The upright sign had been twisted on the date of the alleged
       contravention so as to be not fit for purpose.
       Fact no. 2:
       The sign at the junction stating a No Left turn was not even
       there last year for some considerable amount of time. They
       replaced it upon my complaint. As Mr Sledge says, as well as the
       wording issues of the tickets, how many people received them and
       paid up when these signs were in the state they were - or not
       there at all?
       This demonstrates another clear failure to maintain signage as
       is required by law.
       The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and
       Wales) Regulations 1996 states this:
       Traffic signs
       18.—(1) Where an order relating to any road has been made, the
       order making authority shall take such steps as are necessary to
       secure— (a)before the order comes into force, the placing on or
       near the road of such traffic signs in such positions as the
       order making authority may consider requisite for securing that
       adequate information as to the effect of the order is made
       available to persons using the road;
       (b)the maintenance of such signs for so long as the order
       remains in force; and
       ©in a case where the order revokes, amends or alters the
       application of a previous order, the removal or replacement of
       existing traffic signs as the authority considers requisite to
       avoid confusion to road users by signs being left in the wrong
       positions.
