> Subject: Challenge to PCN - Request for Review and Evidence
>
> Dear Greenwich Council Team,
>
> I am writing to formally challenge the PCN issued for my
alleged use of the bus lane on Blackwall Lane on 4th January
2025. As a local resident who regularly uses this road, I was
surprised to receive this notice. I was unaware that the bus
lane operates at this time of day, particularly as its primary
purpose is to assist bus traffic during peak congestion hours
near the Blackwall Tunnel. Based on my experience, this time of
day does not correspond to peak traffic conditions.
>
> In support of my challenge, I respectfully raise the following
points:
>
> 1. The video evidence provided does not clearly show any
relevant signage indicating bus lane restrictions or hours of
operation that I allegedly passed.
> 2. I request strict proof that the signage at this location
complies with regulations, including that it is reflectorized
and visible under all relevant conditions.
> 3. I request strict proof that warning signage is present at
all junctions leading into the bus lane to adequately inform
drivers before entering the restricted area.
> 4. I request strict proof that the camera used at this
location has the necessary approval from the Vehicle
Certification Agency (VCA).
>
> In light of the above, please cancel the PCN.
>
> Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to
your response.
>
> Yours sincerely,

Thank you. I am afraid I had already submitted my response to
the PCN. Is there anything I should be aware due to the fact I
have included that text or it is for good order?

Rejection received (no surprise there!) see images below.
While I suspect the response is fairly boilerplate and not
uncommon for councils to overlook specific points or requests in
representations, this particular reply seems even more off. It
references parking and entering a bus lane too early for a turn,
which doesnt seem relevant to the alleged contravention in my
case.
Could I please get advice on the next steps, if any? Should I
wait for the Enforcement Notice and then formally challenge the
PCN at that stage?
