Wandsworth No Right Turn
DIR By: Chaseman

---------------------------------------------------------
Have received a PCN for no right turn off Clapham Common North
Side into Stormont Road. I do recall the occasion - I was trying
to reach the BP station further along North Side and to avoid
going around a section of One Way I turned into Stormont Road
and came back up Sugden Road which has the BP station on its
right as it joins North Side. Unfortunately there is a No Right
Turn sign on CCNS just before the Stormont Road turning and the
CCTV is positioned within Stormont Road. The reason I failed to
notice it - although it's no excuse - is that Wandsworth Council
a few years back made every single turning off CCNS into streets
to the north No Right Turns if heading west. There must have
been pushback from residents whose every trip to the shops in
Clapham High Street must have been made a nightmare on the
return. So anyway the No Right Turn signs soon disappeared but
this one remained and I had simply blanked it out.
The argument I have for contesting the ticket is that the PCN
contains no images at all of the "offence". There's a series of
blank boxes - so to my mind the rubric "The PCN is being served
by post on the basis of a record produced by an approved device"
offers no such evidence. The reference that is given further
down to the Wandsworth website is described as being purely for
making payment, not for viewing the evidence. I have been on the
website and CCTV does clearly show my car making the right turn
with still images alongside. However, my contention is that the
PCN should contain all the evidence and directions to assert the
penalty and provide for payment or appeal, rather than one
having to go to another source for such details. And in this
case the PCN does not even direct one to the website in order to
view the evidence, you only find it if you go looking there for
ways to pay.
Does this look like a valid ground for challenge?
